If you ask me, I'd say as long as you have enough RAM, setting it to 0
is the best. If you ask others, you'll get a completely different
answer (http://kerneltrap.org/node/3000?page=1).

I have to say I'm sure Mr. Morton knows better than I do but 0 works
fine for me, esp. on a laptop with relatively low disk performance.
