Our experiments generally use those defaults. I wouldn't say we determined
the ABSOLUTE BESTS, which would probably change from configuration to
configuration anyway; but I don't remember that particular settings made
much difference (once you were above 2 or so).

I believe that we use this feature. Confirmation, anyone?
