As long as allocation speed is fast for large allocs (which I 
have to test), I want to change the default size to be very 
large.  The virtual address space in a 64-bit app is enormous, 
and if the memory is committed on demand then physical memory use 
should only match what the user actually requires.  This should 
allow us to create millions of fibers and not overrun system 
memory, and also not worry about stack overruns, which has always 
been a concern with the default fiber stack size.
