Probably...

Either way, that setting must be removed from the GUI. Why?

* 99% of users don't know what it means anyway. (I'm not even sure myself).
* 99.9% of users don't care even if they did know what it means.

How important is it anyway? No one changes it of the default anyway, and I 
don't see anyone's machine explode into flame. Right now it's locked on the 
default (because no one changes it) and everything works fine, that's also 
without any heuristic...

Move it into a config file somewhere for admins that may one day have to care 
about it.
