Exactly... my aim here was to get stats for most of the plots to use in
the talk. But we stick with what we have for the tunings, of course!

I have comparisons on the Web to show the effect of different CKIN(3) on
these plots... I think 15 GeV is safe enough for showing in a talk:

By the way, we typically run O(1M) events for these plots: is that
reasonable within Athena?
