Robin, 

You can certainly build the gap that way if you prefer.  In most cases
I doubt you'll see any difference in the performance of the TC though.
But it's good to try things, and esp good to compare one method with
another.  But in general, presentation time won't make much difference,
in most set-ups.

Cheers,
