Yes, that would be a good idea. Also note the documentation for set_lg_max; 
the log file size must always be at least 4 times greater than the buffer 
size. (The fact that the default log file size is 10MB is the actual reason 
we settled on 2MB as a recommended value for the log buffer size. I.e., it 
was about as large as we can get without needing to increase the log file 
size. Not that there's anything wrong with increasing the log file size, but 
it would just be one more thing to fiddle with...)
