I understand.

I would like to do some tests before making a decision and having more information to guide you further. I'll work on that in the morning as its bed time here now. In the mean time if you need a task you could of course begin planning or work on your next item or any maintenance you feel is needed on the already submitted ones. 

Since you are ahead of your schedule at the moment I don't think this should be a problem at all to have some delay on this task.
