Looking at the performance data made me think of this: do we really want
this to be static?  It seems like the kind of thing that will cause a
regression _somewhere_.

Also, the folks with larger base bage sizes probably don't want a
FAULT_AROUND_ORDER=4.  That's 1MB of fault-around for ppc64, for example.
