   The answer, based on experience in both increasing and decreasing the
   value, is to use the default.  It is tuned quite well to strike the
   balance between too frequent GCs and ones that are far apart, but take
   an annoyingly long time.

Although I think you are right, I remember having been advised to
do so after having encountered errors such as with
`max-specpdl-size' being too small/high (depending on the case).
Does it sound possible to you ?
