I've been using dar for over 3 years. This is actually the 1st time that I
post to this mlist to discuss the problem that has bugged me for over 3
years. I guess it is an issue for most dar users, even though they have
not speak up. 

Personally, I think Wiebe's suggestion does make sense. It is a good
compromise to both side.

Some might exceed it, but it might only be 0.001 of a chance. Still they
have 2 choices: 

- live with it, as they are living with current dar
- or increase the per slice size.

I second to Wiebe's proposal.
