Hi,

Always use the default settings when unsure (i.e. without serious data to tell
which is better).  After all, I made the decision to activate it.  If you have
time, try both possibilities in a gauntlet so we've got some clue.

Given the results that we can see, it does not look likely that it hurts
enormously in 40/40 anyway ...

Fabien.
