Can you give the "numbers" (peakmem and FPS compatible with previous
message) for this setting?

That was a quite ad hoc attempt to emulate the behaviour of 5.0. It
should delay the start of a new GC cycle until the program doubles the
amount of memory it was using after the previous cycle. We were afraid
that, without it, Lua could perform GC cycles too frequently.
