      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    We talked about a percentage of the installed physical memory, not of
    memory used for data.

I did not notice that difference before.  Over a long Emacs session,
it may not make much difference which one we do.  However, their
formula may avoid the need for the artificial upper bound that we were
talking about.
