software,but I don't know how to use it well enough to get something useful.
That is close to a power law, where best fit is about "threshold = 1.5
* (rows ** 0.6)"
rows yours powerfit
1.00E+00 3.00E+00 1.50E+00
1.00E+01 5.00E+00 5.97E+00
1.00E+02 1.00E+01 2.38E+01
1.00E+03 1.00E+02 9.46E+01
1.00E+05 2.00E+03 1.50E+03
1.00E+06 5.00E+03 5.97E+03
1.00E+07 2.50E+04 2.38E+04
1.00E+08 1.00E+05 9.46E+04
If you want something more natural, reduce the exponent from 0.6 to
0.5 so it becomes the square root.
I have no opinion on the suitability of this, I'm just crunching the
numbers for you.
