Your recommended settings for the gui are the defaults, aren't they?

I'm not seeing these gui settings in the system-wide advancedsettings.xml, but it's possible they are now hard coded defaults (although I'd be a little surprised). If those gui settings are now the default and users are happy with the default 720p lookandfeel, and default network cache settings, then they probably don't need a "user" advancedsettings.xml file at all.

EDIT: Just ran a quick test with the gui settings removed and saw no difference in performance/load, so it looks like algorithmdirtyregions is enabled by default (at least on the Pi, which would make sense). I would now suggest people don't bother with their own advancedsettings.xml unless they want to change or augment the system defaults. Have edited my previous post to reflect this.
