And why not to provide a "simple" shell script that:
1. Collect the detected hardware device list
2. Collect the sysctl value
3. Popose all tunning tips regarding the detected hardware (including
RAM/number of CPU/etc…) and the sysctl value

This will kept default conservative value and guide the user to tune
by itself its system.
