Hi
I have always felt the same with bump maps. So I tried another way of doing
things, and I think I have the solution.
Sure everybody but you and me know it, but here it is.

I made a plane. In the material's normal statement, I used an image as bump
map (a white square inside a black square).
I added a bump size of 2. I added a transformation to the normal statement
in this way:
Scale <2,2,1> and translate <-1,-1,0> to center the map.
If you render this image the bump is almost invisible.
Why not use another way to get the desired effect?
Sure, in the transformation in the normal statement I changed  scale <2,2,1>
with <2,2,10>.
If you render this image, the bump is evident.

Hope it helps
