I stated out using 16 but switched to 32 when I had some problems. But then 
I do this on systems with 1 GB of RAM and no swap partition, so the 
thrashing Bruce worries about doesn't arise.

While a high gbuffers setting doesn't help with an continuing lag problem 
(Lucy in the chocolate factory; yeah, I saw that ad last night too), it 
does help with a transient one. Remember that the original poster described 
a problem that occurred during rapid panning of the camera, a behavior 
which often lasts just for a second or two, not an all-the-time problem.

Since the change did fix his problem, he can now experiment with lower 
values to do the sort of fine-tuning you both suggest.
