Comment (by mcs):

 I also believe that reducing the choices from four to three makes sense in
 terms of usability. Looking at what is different between Medium-Low and
 Medium-High, the only setting that I am a little worried about is
 `javascript.options.baselinejit.content = false`. I don't know if that
 reduces JS performance enough that users will dislike Medium-High.
