Chris, If you want to achieve a certain rapid feed acceleration rate, it is well worth designing for it, I made the mistake a long time ago of winging it and regretted it, I usually shoot for 5:1 now to be on the safe side, and that gives a better margin in case of oversight or the desire to push the acceleration a bit more.
