Ok, that's good to know.

I guess I should have asked for the ratio B/A. If that's small, as you
claim, there should be a significant gain. _If_ it turned out that A
and B were of the same size, then the gain would be quite small,
decreasing the number of required syncs at most by a smallish factor
like 2 or 5.
