Grid res 33x33 (current):
Grid res 65x65 (proposed new standard):
Grid res 129x129 (just for the hell of it):
This glorious high resolution comes at a price:
My frame rates for the depicted scene:
33x33: 163 fps
65x65: 115 fps

Edit: And just to go really over the top: here is the same scene, with 129x129 grid, plus patch resolution bias cranked up to max:
Frame rate: 7.6 fps
To give you an idea of the mesh density, here is the same scene, rendered as a wireframe image:
