I give a real life example:

If I do a search (*a) into a server which has sizelimit not set or it's
set rather high (1000 or so) i'll get about 899 entries as result.
And that takes rather long to run (and eat's server's resources).
(And I do not make such searches..just stupid users..=)

BUT now that I am able to set the sizelimit in the client, I get only 50
entries which is very quick run. And doesn't (over)load the server at all.

Sometimes you cannot go to the server and change that sizelimit setting
there to be lower (or higher).

So it's a speed/performance issue. Is this a good reason ? =)
There is also another argument, timelimit. But I didn't find any use for
it. Yet.
