10x the too low hist_length default of 100 to 1000

I just lost a useful function I wrote that I hoped I could find in the history file.
a utf-8 encoded history file having 1000 lines of code less that 80 columns/characters long less than ~80 kilobytes in size.
or is the concern more about the look up time for autocomplete and the responsiveness of typing?
