I'd prefer not for v3.3.5 / 3.4.0. If you still do, I'd absolutely insist on it 
being off by default. We do not have enough data points for the usefulness of 
this feature, and what impact it might have on other systems / platforms / 
services (or e.g. NUMA).

As you know, I still don't buy the reasons why reclaiming memory is necessary. 
It feels like a duct tape solution to an unknown problem (why is it allocating 
more memory than you want it to? Why are you running other applications / tools 
that are competing for memory? How do you avoid for the two to not compete for 
the same memory?).

All my $.01 of course.
