fig. 2.20.1: sized on real records, 16 boxes finish in the window; sized on synthetic strings, 8 boxes take twice as long
Boxes by the runbook’s formula, box-hours = 150,000,000 / rate / 3,600, rounded up to fill the window. The run used 16 boxes at 383 records a second on one L40S each, 6.8 planned hours a box; the last vector landed 5.98 hours after the first.
