Well. Currently, the paragraph reads like: we have 800kb default, but do
not increase it too much because Emacs will require more memory.

Given that modern computer typically have 4-16Gb RAM, the warning does
not look like an actual warning. 800kb is nothing. Surely, increasing it
to 80Mb to even few hundreds Mb is safe, right? Or not?
