Yes I think that would be a good idea. Setting the cons-threshold to
say 1 or 2% of RAM size would yield roughly the numbers which are
being recommended (at 1%, you'd get 640K on a 64MB system, and 5MB on
a 512MB system).
Getting that number is system-dependent of course, but there seems no
reason not to do it on systems where someone wants to write the code
(it can even be done in lisp on linux, by reading /proc/meminfo).
