Hi All, 

In itemsimilarity metod tere is a parameter like:

--maxPrefs (-mppu) maxPrefs                               max number of
                                                          preferences to
                                                          consider per user or
                                                          item, users or items
                                                          with more preferences
                                                          will be sampled down
                                                          (default: 500)

How does it work exactly?
If I have 5 mln users and 5000 items and I run itemsimilarity with default 
maxPrefs, it consider only 500 ranks from those 5 mln or what? Is it sampling? 
What can I do to force calculation for all input data? 

                        M1   M2   M3 .... M5000
U_1
U_2
...
U_5000000

What does mean "or" in definition:
"max number of preferences to consider per user or item"


Thx in advance
Natalia
