Why aren't the defaults sane???

I imagine they were sane for when they were introduced, and have never
been reexamined since?

Let's not get carried away, though, and compare post-GC-fudge
performance to pre-GC-fudge performance and claim we're doing better.

That's an important point. Do we believe that this regression is because
the gc defaults have changed? (Not a rhetorical question: I haven't seen
evidence one way or the other.) If yes, then this is a fix. If not, then it's a
useful change but there's still a regression that we need to identify.
