You are both right. Sometime between when I ran my tests and when I submitted the code to Kovid, one critical line of code went walking -- the line that actually set the desired quality to what is in the configuration. The quality is stuck at 70.

I have no idea how I did such a stupid thing, but I did. As a consequence you won't see the improvement until next week, assuming I don't do something equally stupid again. Given my recent record, I won't ignore that possibility.
