The enlarged threshold should be carefully tuned to the user's Emacs
usage patterns and to the amount of available virtual memory, to avoid
applying too much memory pressure on the system, which could
potentially lead to OOM killer doing its gruesome job.

So, instead of advising random users to raise the GC threshold to
levels that are (perhaps) suitable for your configuration and usage
patterns, we should IMO teach them how to tune the threshold to
theirs, and leave the setting to them.
