Cog size related to tightness?

Hey all,

I'm just wondering whether the size of the cog makes an appreciable difference in that cog's tightness on the hub? Seems to me the bigger the cog, the more leverage (larger diameter) you put on it to tighten it against the hub. Case in point, when I bought my current wheelset, it came with an 18 tooth Suntour cog. It took two guys and a lever extension on the chainwhip to get the cog loose (no locktite found on the hub either). I've never experienced that with a 16 tooth cog.
