it recycles memory used by the game and has caused stutter/lag in the past, not sure if it still does or they fixed it, but people figured out if it was set higher (from 256 to 2048) that would help you have less stutter/lag.

in general, every 5-10 seconds people would notice a lag spike or stutter, where your character would freeze for a second (happened at randoms times, sometimes at bad moments while fighting), when using the perf option from f1 menu, you could see it happening while playing, so people started maxing its limit to make it happen less.

if you can disable it im not sure as that would be my option over setting it higher.
