Getting the "best" numbers for a given server may take trial and error.

At a minimum it should probably be documented some baseline numbers to use
for:

1. file server
2. desktop machine
3. General use machine (random login host)

I'm assuming any default numbers will work for a dedicated server host that
can keep the service in main memory (like a DNS server).

Since in general those 3 types are fairly generic and in some cases have
highly different default percentages. Also noting high vs low memory couldn't
hurt if that has impact.
