    Actually, as cheap as disk is these days, I'd leave it alone for the
    following reasons: 

    (1) It's cheap insurance against a runaway process. 
    (2) You stand a greater chance of messing something up by making the
        the change than you do if you just leave it alone, which is
        kinda the same thing as saying: 
    (3) Never f*** with a working system unless you have to.
