Mark, 
I can confirm this as what I have observed in making bio from tallow, 
or having a fair percentage of it ~ 30%.

It does tend to foam but I think this is more likely stearins as it ;
left a lovely greasy residue when the tank was emptied, mist washing 
would tend to take it down to the bottom, where I nearly always found 
a lovely creme cheese layer of this stuff, I was not yet been able to 
make a batch without it, although a properly titrated acid base 
reation tends to minimise it.

Is it harder to convert, no just a bit more work to seperate the eash 
products. Alledgedly if you make biodiesel, which no one here does!

Just my experience in times past.
Matt
