   Yep.   
   Problem with delaying shedding is that it's determined after the fact.   
   If the heater stalls the generator, you're hozed.   
   I think a good outcome will be critically dependent on which stuff is on   
   which circuit.   
      
   Keep posting your evaluation results.  Interesting topic.
