I think it's good for a preliminary solution, and then later increase
the limit with the soft and hard limits.
OTOH, if we implement the soft/hard limits, it doesn't really matter
what default you choose now...

32 MB and 2 or 3 min? :-)
If you do that, I'm fine with a plain default of 32 MB for now.
