Not needing to use a larger transistor? As long as you have a comfortable margin there's no reason not to run a transistor a bit hot. True, elevated temperatures accelerate device degradation, but normal "hot" operation isn't hot enough to make a big difference. |

Uh, could we quantify these with some numbers? |
