I noticed the X/Y delta is much different (smaller) in TK 3.33, with the program
reaching higher X values much faster. Interesting....

I'm also excited about the "more aggressive" time usage.

I suspect that Kurt Utzinger (et al) will be displeased that King Safety hasn't
been increased, given that his personalities all have values > 150. But, no
matter....
