Is heap_chunk_in_mb still useful?

Would it make sense to have Cygwin setup run the equivalent of the
following on install?
grep '^Mem:' /proc/meminfo | awk '{print $1}' | \
xargs -ri expr {} / 1048576 | \
xargs regtool -i set /HKLM/Software/Cygnus\ Solutions/Cygwin/heap_chunk_in_mb
Or should Cygwin determine and use the available memory automatically on
startup?
Igor
