Okay here's a new table with revisions based
on input. Now, higher effort and return numbers
mean more effort and return. And gone is the
value number replaced with Russell's return/effort
ratio. Have revised some numbers to try to fit in
with some opinions.

The higher the third column the more that feature
gives in program performance for less work expended.
