I think it's more like it's fairly common in the UNIX world on systems 
designed when wasting 100K of kernel memory was an unforgivable sin. :-) 
When just setting nfiles to some sufficiently large number whether you need 
it or not works fine, you wind up recompiling for those kinds of tuning 
parameters less often.  (Or, of course, you could configure the kernel at 
boot time, but that's no fun.)
