I guess this is a typical example where we need to be careful. I can
imagine a situation when a beginner has a lot of data and low-end hardware.
By hiding an parameter like this, we would make it even more advanced. Now
you not only need to understand that your hardware is not enough and that
the algorithm should somehow account for that. You also need to know that
there might be a hidden option for that and you need to know how to find
it. Having this in the manual or even a Memory or Speed tab in the GUI,
gives some hope that even a beginner will be able to use it.
