That's really a Jonathan question but I'll try to emulate him.  J, if I
get it wrong, skewer me.

Streaming, no delta.  SPEC, I believe Jonathan spake something into the
double digits percentage, maybe 15% or more.  Which would be in the
70K ops neighborhood.  Which is pretty close to the 60K ops
neighborhood, but still just that little bit more upscale.

Cheers,
