Because it is easier to make some measurements (you asked for some benchmarks 
when this came up last time) this way than to recompile x-times for different 
values of the constant ;-)

Second, some people were ancient about changing this value.

And last, the best value might be dependant on the architecture, and/or change 
over time.
