Um... no. I haven't a clue either.

Actually, my point is that the number we should be looking at is the
expected maximum number of blocks that we need to recover; not the average.

What is the order to the difference? If the LDPC max (say for a 99%
confidence-level) is much higher than the hard limit for RS, then yeah, RS
would be a better choice. Else, it would seem a rather slow algorithm.

Would love to read some paper which does this variance analysis. (Since I am
at my univ, I can get papers from IEEE etc. Just send in a link if possible.
Thanks!)
