So, 5'x5'.  Okay.

So, in general, what is the breakdown of how people tend to play (speed,

table & MU size)?

Is this a result of personal preference or of starting conditions?  I.e.

if you started at V10, would you always end up at V40+, or is it a 
matter of always starting at V50?

Does Vector vs. Cinematic have an effect of how fast people tend to
play?
