     I've observed that on several occasions. The main reason in the
computations
  I have done (in collaboration with G. Molteni) is that a sum on the
zeros of the
  Dedekind zeta function often comes with a negative coefficient for the degree.
  This could be interpreted as: for fixed degree, as the discriminant
gets higher
  the field becomes more complicated.
