Yes,  i just happens that at these parameters, the area is fairly filled up,
so randomly finding a usable location gets more difficult, so much so that a
such a small change in area has a large impact on the search time.  Perhaps
this is why Warp chose these parameters to test in the first place (or
perhaps it's just a coincidence)
