As these are the initial values that can be optimised, I'd probably make
them defines and put them right at the top of the file so they're easy
to find to update, with documentation describing what they define.

However - that can be done on top, once we have 'real/measured' numbers
to put in there.

I wasn't sure this should be info level, because it's not the doubled
size that's helpful to reserve initially - we can (for static metadata)
take the maximum sizes used when all the data is stored.

However, if we ever do resize, that's an event that should be advertised
in the logs so that it can be optimised out, so I've changed my mind.

Info here is good.
