Instead of guessing at fixed amounts, why not:

	- Detect how much memory the user has.
	- Pick a reasonable default in terms of percentage (say, 50%).
	- Let the user change this default, also in terms of percentage.

That way, the default the Gimp ships with will work with all systems, and
also on a given system if the user dumps more memory in, the Gimp will
automagically have better performance.

Just my $0.02,
