Which is bearable with three sizes, but with 10 that's going to take a minute or so.

I'm sure that with smarter software this could be done much faster, but without said smarts I think fewer is better. Right now liseuse software seems to be very much at the "at last, it works!" stage rather than the "here's another point release with 27 minor fixes and enhancements" stage. Which is no time to be competing on silly reviewer bullet points.
