It's probably a matter of coming up with an example configuration that
is simple enough to present well within the probable reader's
attention span and fits document's format, corresponds reasonably well
to a situation a prospective reader would regognize, and with the
characteristics to demonstrate what makes HFSC stand out as the better
algorithm for that particular application, in an example that is
sophisticated enough to demonstrate a reasonably complete set of
significant parameters while keeping the reader's focused on the
relative strengths of the algorithm rather than getting lost in
potentially confusing detail.

That just about sums up why writing up something along those lines is
still on my list of things to do, rather than written and published
already.  I will keep trying, the general task juggling allowing.

I realize this probably sounds terribly condescending, that's not what
I intended.  It's just that some subjects are in fact very hard to
write well.
