This is a performance thing - so I don't think it will break anything if
this is wrong, it just won't be optimal.

As it's a performance thing you shouldn't see correctness issues with
not setting it. But 0xF seems to have been chosen as it gave the best
overall performance (although for individual test content this can
vary). AFAICT the performance impact isn't massive either.

Since you've tagged this RFC I won't merge it now, but it looks correct
to me.
