Comment:

 Odds are you and Mark are right that a default limit is OK. Stickies have
 always had no limit, so most themes or sites are already managing them
 manually ... or have just gotten used to things being slow & ugly.

 At least this is a filter & will get documented. With 3.6 launch docs,
 people will be able to find it easier than Mark was able to track down his
 performance issue.

 Is it worth making this filter homepage-specific though? A bit long, but
 unless other things get the same filter, this is more of a
 'sticky_posts_is_home_query_limit'
