Hmmm interesting.
You said it's a file size issue so I thought I go and compare the file sizes of the same
matches analyzed at gnu 2-ply (world class) and snowie 3-ply huge.
The file sizes are very very close.
Filters don't match exactly but pretty close.

Is file size such an issue given todays cpu speed and huge and cheap storage?
