I'm not 100% sure that we really need a setting for this. Generally speaking,
less knobs is better.

The settings above were used to tune parameters for experiments. Unless we have
a good reason to do otherwise, maybe we can start with keeping a small fixed
number of entries.

My suspicion is that the redirect chains are going to be either "monomorphic" or
"megamorphic". The second case we don't care about.
