Making the parchment the same size as the springform base would defeat the
purpose. The problem is getting something under the cheesecake to hoist
it off the pan. That said, however, after handling this one just in
slices, the cheesecake is a lot more durable than I thought it was. If I
get a plastic spatula wide enough, and with a handle that's sturdy enough
(not something a squirrel would use as a diving board), then getting it
off the base without parchment shouldn't be a problem.

I originally thought about having the parchment extend outside the
springform pan so I could just remove the tube, then slide the cake off
onto a plate using the large, rectangular sheet of parchment paper.
