I'd prefer to see those configurable.
I see two obvious cases when different settings are needed.
First is system that has very little changes at runtime. Maybe as small as
save user settings if he ever changes those. Everything else is readonly.
Then, better to have lower pool size to make attach faster.
Second is system with extensice writes expected. Then indeed pool needs to
be larger to avoid too often fastmap writes.
