Not a big deal either way in terms of size. Probably can leave the
size at 1024.
Not as important to know your "program is going fast enough," as it is
to know for sure that your code is doing the algorithm it's supposed
to do :) In other words, if it's doing the "right thing," it would
naturally be "fast enough."
