I certainly think that that would be OK. It is impractical to come up with a default heap size to cover the largest possible IO configuration, since that would be very large indeed. Heck, even my failing large IO configuration is not really very large. I am putting only one expansion chassis on the system. I expect that we will eventually get customers that will want two or even three expansion chassis (each chassis holds 20 PCI-e cards). In one sense this is kinda exciting. Mainframes have always been about large IO. That's what distinguishes them from PCs. With these tweaks, PC-like machines can start to eat away at the bottom of that market.
