It's the same curve.
Side taper is double the top taper, but it's a half-body. The bottom (being a different case) upsets the symmetry with the top.
If you truncate The Template you find there're diminishing returns at the pointy end. Which leads back to Mair.
The pertinent question is how tight can the initial curve be (given the truncated length). It's not simple — case in point the greenhouse of the GM EV-1. It's 'too fast'.
Once again, 'premature optimization...'.
