it would seem from past discussions,
that a low vacuum would be detrimental to quenching the gap.
the air flow movement through the gap to purge the ions
would be the key factor.

calculate air density per dielectric strength of nitrogen.
lower pressures would be a greater distance and higher pressures
lesser, respectively.

if i can find the formula for dielectric strength for 'air' with reference
to pressure, I'll post it.

a few minutes of searching should be enough. :) google is your friend.
