<span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">Firstly, I do suggest
that you run some tests and see how much, if any, difference the settings
that are available make in performance and/or storage utilization.</span><br><br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">Secondly, as I
and others have hinted at, deeper in the system, there may be additional
parameters and settings. Sometimes they are available via commands,
and/or configuration settings, sometimes not.</span><br><br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">Sometimes that's
just because we didn't want to overwhelm you or ourselves with yet more
"tuning knobs".</span><br><br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">Sometimes it's
because we made some component more tunable than we really needed, but
did not make all the interconnected components equally or as widely tunable.</span><br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">Sometimes it's
because we want to save you from making ridiculous settings that would
lead to problems...</span><br><br><span style=" font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif">OTOH, as I wrote
before, if a burning requirement surfaces, things may change from release
to release... Just as for so many years subblocks per block seemed forever
frozen at the number 32. Now it varies... and then the discussion
shifts to why can't it be even more flexible?</span><br><br><BR>
