But then everyone with big machines has to change it. Its a non win situation.

It depends. On a server its not so smart, for a client machine you probably have so few connections at once (<100) that its not going to be a serious issue. In theory with large windows we could commit 128K of kernel non swappable memory to one socket. I'd be amazed if you ever managed this
