Like I said I know there are after install non-default configs (like
the above) that make it manageable.   That is not the point the point
is that such settings should be the defaults and on super hefty build
machines like the foundations parts farm then you can go for more
aggressive configs.    I think what I am getting at is the defaults
are all wrong (which they are not in make install or portmaster) and
thus add an other learning curve hoop in for new users of the system.
