Gurus don't use GUIs, but they can still advise on this...  :-)
In that all the gurus are off-duty at this hour, I'll take a stab at it.
The preference would seem to correspond to the INCRTHreshold option, introduced
in TSM 4.2.  See the description of that option in the Windows client manual,
which gives the basic explanation.  As always, a full explanation can be found
in the redbook which explains all the new features in the version-release: i.e.,
the TSM 4.2 Technical Guide.
