Somebody cares to explain why this threashold number has to be different
per platform in the first place?  Instead of bumping up to 2 like your
patch did, what bad things would happen if you increased it to 8 on
Windows?  Doesn't the same badness happen on non-Windows because they have
the threashold set to 8 already?
