Without a fair amount of testing, especially on other platforms, it most
likely won't happen in the distribution itself ... one of the things that
was bantered around for after v7.4 is released is seeing how increasing it
on the various platforms fairs, and possibly just raising the default to
16k or 32k (Tatsuo mentioned a 15% improvement at 32k) ...

But, we'll need broader testing before that happens ...
