    This should be configurable in two respects.
    * minimum size before we consider something a large block : if average is 
10kb, and some blocks are > 20kb, spilling them to disk would be highly 
suboptimal. (Unless I missed that check somewhere else).
    * The fraction '2' should also be configurable - some deployments might be 
ok with high memory usage (machines provisioned accordingly) while others might 
need it to be more aggressive and lower.
