So apart from my complaints about asking users config questions that
simply should not be asked, I really think this just needs to start
getting merged.

We've seen several numbers on the upsides, and I don't think we'll see
any of the downsides until we try it. And I don't think there is any
question that we _shouldn't_ try it, given the numbers posted.

But yeah, I certainly _hope_ that all the benchmarking has been done
with a unified set of config values, and it's not some kind of bogus
"cherry-picked config values for this particular machine" kind of
benchmarking that has been done.

Because that isn't valid benchmarking - comparing some "tuned for this
paeticular machine or load" setup to a default one is just not worth
even setting numbers to, and debases the whole value of posting
results.
