I think the thinking was that the more software you have installed to begin 
with the more user data you're likely to need to store. Personally I think it 
would be simpler if we just set some additional overhead as an absolute value 
rather than a factor - if it needs to be different per image type then it 
easily can be.

Cheers,
Paul
