Oh, don't get me wrong. I realize that this is about as close to eRicing 
as OS discussions get. I was
wondering if there was any merit at all to this. I mean, adding a 
spoiler that makes your car look
like a shopping cart is one thing. Putting a reasonable spoiler on a car 
is another as it is actually
beneficial to some degree for more than just looks. I was trying to see 
where on the spectrum
these optimizations were from "reasonable" to "ricer".
