Sorry, I don't.  I asked on our IRC channel and no one else seems to have
noticed either.  What I can tell you is that on my core 2 duo laptop with 3G
of RAM, with 3 total participants, the experience was acceptable, but as
more people came on board (at most there were 7 of us) quality of the call
dropped.  I started to get audio dropping out.  I could no longer hear for
long periods and they could no longer hear me.  Those on beefier machines
than my measely laptop had no trouble, though.
