Totally agreed - the question I guess is how promising it is given 3PSI pressures that people use?

Given 50PSI pressures, it's definitely the way to go.

The old theory vs practicality thing. Then again, I guess that if we all had 50PSI pumps, then we'd be looking for more still.

Ever considered using one of those high-pressure jet-sprayers that are used for cleaning mud and crap off cars and engines? I've always been curious if the rapid pulsing effect of the flow would create favorable turbulence by rapidly increasing and decreasing the jet impingement radius, and the pumps can typically push up to 600PSI or so. It'd be a "cheapish", if rather noisy, way to conduct the experiment, and when you're done with it, you get to clean your car too.
