Maybe we need to define what the expression "huge difference" means in 
this context. Previously
it has been defined as 1.4% difference which in my opinion qualifies as 
understatement of the day.

If we would be talking about 20% or more difference here, the pain from 
larger MTU might  be tolerable.
