Blender Smoke Simulation - Buoyancy Density

Now, on to the Gas Parameters section!  Buoyancy Density seems simple enough; the less dense something is, it should rise faster through a container of constant density.  How hard could that be?

I was a little surprised that there seems to be an upper limit on how quickly this parameter will make the smoke rise. I don't see much difference between a value of 5 and 20. I suspect there are also density parameters on the fluid/smoke emitter that will work in concert, but that's a problem for future Me.

Density = 1.0
Density = 5.0
Density = 20.0

The standard video comparison:
