I have no personal experience with it, so I do not know how much
difference it makes, or whether there are any problems with it.

I am reluctant to change the defaults for the 4.2 release at this
late date, just because I assume 99% of the testing so far has used
the existing set of defaults.

On the other hand, if SuSE has been shipping it that way for some
years and we have not received any bug reports on it, that may be
evidence that it is in good shape.

Could somebody provide an example plot where this option makes
a difference?
