I'm with Magnus on this one. Having it set to "just enough to test
with" is just plain terrible. A value of '5' seems high enough that it
might be fine while on a development system and maybe for a short time
on a production system which means it might not get noticed early enough
to get picked up on and fixed by an admin before a user notices.

I also like the on/off option, with the default being 'off' (where that
really means *off*, not "on, but with a small number"- that would be
even worse than the current situation).

Thanks,
