It's plausable that my change created this regression.

My change can affect the tuning of the JavaScript GC Nursery size which will affect this metric. I'll do some testing and see if I can create a better policy/heuristic for setting the nursery size.

Let's revert to the original heuristic.  There are more important things to work on right now.
