That won't help with the power consumption though, I guess. (Or is that a rounding error compared to everything else?)

It's not exactly what I'd call a rounding error, but it's manageable. But yeah, tube computing in general is an exercise in building a really fancy space heater.
I'm trying to keep my tube computer I'm building down to ~3KW, and that's probably the biggest actual constraint on design complexity.
