Well, I don't think so.  Anyway, with the above pack.windowMemory 
setting, the window probably gets shrinked if those big objects are all 
to be found in the same window.  So that would be the setting to 
increase if you have lots of ram.

Finding out what those huge objects are, and if they actually need to be 
there, would be a good thing to do to reduce any repository size.
