Increasing HTTP connection buffer for Anti Virus scanning

Just stumbled about sk36090 which describes that Anti Virus scanning for HTTP traffic can significantly slows down browsing.
The resolution is easy, just increase the buffer assigned to each HTTP connection.

Go to Policy -> Global Properties -> SmartDashboard Customization. Click on Advanced Configuration.

http_buffers_size

Change the http_buffers_size from 4096 bytes to a higher value. Since the default number of concurrent connections is 1000 for HTTP, changing the parameter to the maximum of 65500 bytes would only allocate ~ 63 MB for all buffers together, so why not go with the max?
