Yes.

I don't have the plug-in that would tell me how far a 4 will push the
cards into the future, but at 76 left out of 140 or so, the last
review date was 11 days ago, if that helps.

I very rarely use the 5; if I know something that cold, it usually
wouldn't be in Mnemosyne. My last 10 reps are from 300-400+ days in
the past, but then, I've used Mnemosyne since 2007 or 2008, so no
surprise there.
