There is nothing to document there, it works automatically.

Well, I think about disabling it because it causes a lot of problems. For 
example:
- it slows down the site because it uses databases queries, which cannot be 
done with indexes. This happens on EVERY page request! It is a major 
performance killer.
- it causes hard-to-catch errors, such as:
        - numeric paths instead of normal paths
        - wrong page ids for paths
        - additional look ups for page paths in certain cases (more performance 
problems)

Specifying correct root page id in the configuration is a one time action that 
avoids ALL these problems forever.

SVN version of RealURL currently has an experimental "strict" mode, which 
disables automatic detection of a root page id. It is faster and safer this 
way. However I recognize that disabling this feature is bad from the usability 
point of view. Therefore I am looking for the alternative solution. I do not 
know what can it be yet. This holds the release of a new version.
