One of the things I don't like about OSR games is the hit point scaling at high levels; you have a lot more hit points so you can absorb a lot more damage.  However in my LotFP game no one ever made it past 4th level.  In 1st ed AD&D Fafhrd and Mouser had 130 and 90 HP respectively at their peak (level 20).  In SW Fafhrd and Mouser have 10 and 7 toughness respectively at their peak which makes the much more vulnerable.  At high levels in SW characters have a lot of edges so taking them all into account becomes a pain.  DCC only goes to 10th level so it might not be as bad.  

This weekend I finally got a chance to play DCC for the first time at a local con and had a good time.  I think DCC does a much better job with magic than most OSR games.  Everything is dependent on tables. While this slows down the pace of the game, it also makes magic more interesting and chaotic.

I can understand that. I have nothing against it in general, but for certain types of games yes, it's better to not have as much HP inflation.

So, for example, in Dark Albion there'll be a set of house rules in an appendix that present a modification of the standard game where there'll be far lower levels of HP at higher levels.
