Conservatism here--rejection of any reflexive, unthinking enlargement of the [Unix] shared-library region size--is the right stuff.
I suspect, however, that my earlier post erred in not being unambiguously directive. The performance penalties are, this time, all on the down side, They are significant when this region size is too small, and those of enlarging it in any reasonable way, say by doubling the 64 Mib default, are exiguous. Still, it is appropriate to think before jumping.
