Thanks Barry.  If there's more relative loss in the gap, it must be 
due to the lower voltage of the bangs at the high break rate.  This is
possible, but I don't think it's affecting the results too much.  I ran a
new test which I posted separately, in which I raised the break rate
but kept the bang size constant.  The spark increased, but still a lot
less than it would with a cap size increase instead of a break rate 
increase.  The relationships seem to be staying relatively constant
in all the tests.
