It's probably not the proper way to do it, but if computer starts making that
obnoxious chatter sound then I know I've got the hashtables set too high, so I
turn them down. For me it's that easy. I don't really care HOW much it's hurting
the performance, the point is that it IS hurting the performance, and besides I
don't want to listen to my harddrive.
