could you please provide before/after .data size analysis, expected dynamic
allocation overhead difference (if any), etc. - so that we can see whether
there's any (and if yes, how much) cost due to the bumping of the limit.

Also, instead of just upping the limit to a new random limit that works on
that testbox, could we put some more thought into how much we want to increase
it, and stay at least 2-3 years ahead of the expected hardware curve?
