      WiredTiger default configuration should be adjusted for laptop (e.g. default cache size should be <2G)

      On laptops (mac or windows client) , when users evaluate with WT

      1) The current default of ½ RAM size likely to be too greedy and will cause a significant competition on RAM w/ other apps (which leads to high amount of page faults)
      2) The situation will be amplified if users will evaluate a replica set as our mongod apps will compete on memory
      3) The laptop processor HW is usually lower then server (no L3 cache and etc)
      4) Higher cache size longer I/O pressure during checkpoint
      5) My initial verification on an empty Mac (OSX) produce the following results

      YCSB 50/50 load phase (insert only) measured on 3.1.4-pre-

        1/2 memory e.g 4 G 1G cache %Improvement w/ lower cache
      Median Throughput 3984 5860 140%
      Avg Throughput 4425 5405 122%

      It’s easy to detect the Mac OS or windows client platforms and adjust our default for this platform
