I've added a piece of line about 6 inches long to the top ring with a stopper ball, this keeps some patch separation which appears to help. Some teams are going to a two patch system, this can be done with the mid pole snuffer system if the snuffer bag is extended under the tramp. The idea here is you have less spinnaker trying to go through the ring at the same time.
