I confirm this, but the difference is more pronounced on my monitor.  When I set
the WF height at ~ 50% the monitor waterfall image is more like 60 - 70% of the
monitor vertical height.  However, I believe in my case it might be the age of
the monitor which was very inexpensive and only has 1024 x 768 resolution which
probably has elliptical pixels which are taller than they are wide.  That could
cause the distortion I am seeing.

I confirm this also.  I'd almost believe that somehow the refresh rate is being
corrupted or somehow follows the span rate, because when reducing the span the
refresh rate returns to normal. The anomaly seems to me to begin at near 125 and
continuously become more pronounced at 144. At 150 it is almost at a dead stop
and at 152 it is back to normal up to 200KC wide.
