Haha, i used to think the same thing until Mark asked me to figure out
the RMS current in my DRSSTC. Turns out i was pushing about 90A RMS
with the longer bursts. Anyway, i got curious and began trying
different BPS, expecting it to double at 240, when really the change
was a lot less!
Makes sense now ;-)
