Hmph. It is unclear if having this as uint8_t gives us a useful
enhancement, but perhaps in the future hosters may find a more
aggressive geometric sequence is better for their workload or
something and raise it to 3 or 4? I was actually wondering if a
base smaller than 2 (e.g. fibonacci) may work better.
Anyway, making it configurable is a good first step. Allowing a bit
finer grained setting than just integral values can be done later if
it proves necessary.
