I suppose the several different, close placed in device > space patches may be better for profiling than the same amount but duplicated I think that depends on how the device/paper behavior is predictable, smooth, regular. If it is, then surely better to hit a big number of patches. If it's not, maybe half the patches but duplicated are better. I see there's a point where adding patches doesn't improve things. But I'm speaking by naked eye here, not by dE. Recently I made a test profile starting from 3000 patches, then another profile with the original 3000 patches + other 3000 preconditioned ones. I saw no visual improvement. On the contrary, I perhaps noticed more visual errors in the second profile than in the first one. Yet I can't be too precise, since I'm now almost only computing -qh profiles, and it's very time consuming - so any feedback is slow. /&
