Here's another place I'd like someone that actually knows what they're
talking about to jump in...

The limited testing I've done shows SPD thresholds are automatically
adjusted on the fly for 'real' routers.
  [MSFCs not being real routers but 'layer 3 switches' :-]
When I changed the input queue size to 200 on _all_ interfaces the SPD
thresholds were automatically changed.  My concern with manually changing
SPD thresholds is that important traffic [eg. routing updates] would no
longer be protected by SPD on some interfaces.
