you probably know that the CBOT members first voted AGAINST an 
alliance with EUREX and later changed that....

its obviously very attractive to stand in the bond pit buy at bid and sell at the 
ask in a second if the thing trades in 1/32s.....

lots of other interest instruments trade in 1/100 - about 3times closer tick 
spread - only reason to stay at 1/32s and in the PIT is: RIPPPP OFFFF !!!
