At least in the current version it's user-modifiable; previously you were
stuck with this behavior.  I can only guess that no one at Sun who uses
Xsun knows how to touch type!  ;-)

For what it's worth, I use 550 and 40.  Anything greater than 999 will
cause the server to ungracefully crash...

P.S.  On a slow day you can try 1 and 1.

I'm going to write an object-oriented extension and call it "ADD 1 TO COBOL."
