I'm thinking leaving them higher would offset the jump in the scale factor a 
bit.  But if the idea is to get rid of the base threshold, then that's not 
really a forward-looking strategy, I suppose.

I don't mind if we go down with the scale factor a little less and move the 
threshold down more, but at least tying the scale factor to the fill factor 
doesn't make all those numbers too random.
