 Note the method was 32kb long.
 
 Obviously, our alg for making the switch table needs some tuning.
 
 Inside the mcs code, I found at least one instance of this issue,
 Modifiers::Name, the method is 16kb long.

+Ok, so the issue is this code:
+
+if ((kbCurr.Length + kb.Length) * 2 >=  KeyBlock.TotalLength (kbCurr, kb))
+
+Basically, it says
+`oh, look, 1 and 2 are pretty close, lets make them a block'
+`oh, look, 2 and 4 are pretty close, lets make them a block'
+...
+`oh, look, 2^30 and 2^31 are pretty close, lets make them a block'
