MAXFC, MAXSC

Why do these tunable parameters default to 1?  I can rationalize having
MAXSC low if you have a very slow swap device, but why only free one page
at a time?  Does anyone have the rationalization for these defaults?  What
are the performance implications if they're increased?

Thanks,
Sean
