Brian,

Maybe your cap was charging to a lower and lower voltage as
you increased your break rate?  This would tend to keep the
spark length constant.  I think the other fellow was refering to
a system in which the cap voltage remains constant at any
break rate, which should give a spark length increase as the
break rate is increased.
