I would make it an expert option and put in sanity checks to make sure the ratio never goes outside 10 to 1 and each store is at least 32MB. The default would still be 50% My reasoning is, I run a 18GB datastore and there is no way my node could serve up 9GB of cached data without overloading my bandwidth and probably starving requests that could hit the specialized store.
