changed the description

added Needs Review label

I'm not 100% sure, if this is fine, whoever reviews this, please have a look at https://wikis.uni-paderborn.de/pgandi/Performance_improvements#Buffer_Size

I don't believe this is a value we can change without talking about whether such a buffer size is realistic or not. Have you talked to the App team about how large the buffer will actually be? I'm also quite sceptical about whether this will really improve performance for all / the majority of routing protocols. It seems counterintuitive.

In my tests it had a quite dramatic effect on performance. I will ask the app team about realistic buffer sizes

Ok, according to Robin it is not a fixed value but can at most grow to use 10% of the memory.
