Bullshit.

I'm, saying: rip out the question ENTIRELY. For *both* cases.

If you cannot yourself give a good answer, then there's no f*cking way
any user can give a good answer. So asking the question is totally and
utterly pointless.

All it means is that different people will try different (in random
ways) configurations, and the end result is random crap.

So get rid of those questions. Pick a default, and live with it. And
if people complain about performance, fix the performance issue.

It's that simple.
