I think the contrary is true, in photography you __always__ use logarithmic 
representation because it corresponds more to the subjective impression 
called "Lightness". The actual subjective law is a 1/3 power law 
(http://www.poynton.com/notes/colour_and_gamma/GammaFAQ.html#lightness). 

So if we want to improve the histogram I think the best would be (because it 
corresponds to our visual perception) to represent the histogram as a power 
law, and neither log nor linear, cupped or otherwise.
