generally speaking:
Loads of tension on top four battens, then decreasing
to the bottom with no more than wrinkles taken out on
the bottom one.
really light wind - less tension all round - top batten will
be a nightmare to 'pop' otherwise when you tack / gybe
really windy - east top battens a bit to allow sail to twist
off easier
remember though, you can de-power with the rig
tension, so you dont want to end up underpowered
when the wind drops off a bit
really keen types capsize between races if big wind
change and adjust on the water
cheers
