I was thinking of changing the way EFC is handled, having it retrived via code 
(much the same way top does it) rather than relying on the user to specify 
the value.  This value would then be checked/updated every so often.

Does anybody have any thoughts on this.  Especially on if this would be a boon 
or a bust to the planner/optimizer.
