That's easier than I anticipated. I didn't know about the aliases. Thanks
for your good explanation. Joe Greco also recommended 65536 for the
interleave. My first guess would have been 4096, because most news
articles are smaller than that, but since so many people recommend 65536,
I will make it 65536 .

Cheers,
