In typical use, it doesn't need any tweaking.  I suspect that there are some 
memory usage patterns it doesn't perform so well on, and in those cases you 
tune it.  In extreme cases, you use something else :).

In the same vein, if my wife's automatic gearbox is so good, why does it have a 
sports and economy setting?
