In the latest RPMs, the max-heap is still set. You said in your mail about
the last time I asked that you did it so that your machine doesn't thrash.
Is it thrashing only because you are running other big things on it? The
thresholds should be set so that the default max-heap is ok unless you are
running other big stuff (in which case you have to manually set it smaller)
or you are so desperate that you are willing to swap (in which case you have
to manually set it larger). If the current default isn't right, then we
should tweak it. I remember we had to do this in the change to 2.2 because
the 2.0 level was a bit too large for 2.2 since it had gotten a bit more
aggressive about swapping early.
