NASA tracks debris 10cm or larger. They also detect and statistically estimate debris as small as 3mm in LEO.

10cm is huge, that could even be a functioning 1U cubesat.
So it looks to be just the latency improvement that's noteworthy, then. Thank you!
Yes. Sorry for the brief answer. Too bad I got downvoted. There's no size improvement.
