The previous values would lead to super large memory allocations, as observed with
valgrind --tool=massive
on the tiny test added in this commit:This is not acceptable for any kind of devices, especially for mobile devices which may be more constrained on memory. The bloom filter is an optimisation to avoid going through events in the room's event list, so it shouldn't cause a big toll like that; instead, we can reduce the parameters values given when creating the filters.
With the given parameters, 1000 rooms each having 100 events leads to 1.2MB of allocations.
