ack for this bit, but please split this one out:

this is a behavioral change and should go into the 'possible negative
effect on interactivity' bucket. (of course it could very likely have a
positive effect as well - the bucket is just to separate the risks.)

Actually I'd like to say I did it for positive effect to counter the change that occurred with dropping interactive credit. That was what I found in my testing, and I'd like them both to go together into -mm.
