The reason for the higher threshold was suggested by someone that was having the same perceived problem I was having. I sat perceived, because it's really not a problem. Now that I have a better understand on what's happening, I think I'll be okay. The command that checks the status of the file runs daily and the reorg runs weekly. I will check the status of the files daily until I get a good threshold to put in.
