(prettyclose to default value, and still can be tweaked by enduser). Let's wait what others say?
I don't think adding more parameters is a problem intrinsically. A
good question to ask, though, is how the user is supposed to know what
value they should configure. If we don't have any idea what value is
likely to be optimal, odds are users won't either.
It's not very clear to me that we have any kind of agreement on what
the basic approach should be here, though.
