I've never tried that. It sounds like you understand the potential impact
on memory and startup time. If you have the data in such a way that you can
easily experiment, I would like to see a breakdown of the impact on
response time vs. memory usage as well as where the point of diminishing
returns is on turning this down towards 1 (I think there will be a sweet
spot somewhere).
