I actually ran some numbers on this a few months ago. While you only
get pure plane change at the node, there are several minutes on each
side of it during which it's still pretty efficient to do it (i.e.,
the ratio of plane change to node change still remains above ninety
percent).

Thanks for the details, Rand!
