Well, the small device will have a choice whether to hunt and
peck or root through big chunks. If it has enough resources for
the big chunks, it could use that. If it finds it doesn't have
enough resources, it can switch to a hunt and peck strategy. > Also noticed a few typos in the article which might detract from the help it provides.
