Katz, my man, your words are little more than unfounded speculation.  As it
is, until you try what I suggested, you can't say much with any authority
regarding the matter.

The temporary reservoir does provide head to the system, that's the whole
idea of it, but this approach is so patently obvious that it could hardly be
termed a feux d'artifice.
