Yes, that's a point to consider.  I just looked, and out of 4343 
articles the 434th has only 1449 bytes.  Many of the bigger ones are 
indexes and other kinds of lists that really serve a meta-dictionary 
function.  The minimum number of headings parameter will also be 
available as in Wikipedia.  Is the TOC function flexible enough to make 
these kinds of parameters so that they can be set in user preferences. 
 Whatever a user chooses, since the TOC function operates only on the 
currently called article it will not significantly affect operation time.
