I agree with Katrin. Koha is used by libraries big and small, so I think it's a
better idea to be more conservative by default. (That said, it would be
interesting if someone did some benchmarks on this one. Perhaps 1000 is an
arbitrary number. We don't have numbers on the actual performance degradation
at present I think.)

I am also curious about the scenarios where people are getting search results
higher than 1000. Back at university, as a student, I think librarians and
professors would've told us that our searches were too broad if we were
returning that many results. (That said, maybe you are doing a search for all
science fiction and want to search through the results alphabetically, as you
can't quite remember exactly what you're looking for. That seems reasonable
too.)
