Bookmark exhaustion has been observed on fairly standard WordPress post content. This is partially related to WordPress/gutenberg#70542 which may nest formatting elements to extreme depths.

The initial limit of 100 bookmarks was very conservative. A significant increase in bookmarks seems to perform well without excessive memory usage.

Related to #10616.

In my own testing I found that 3,000 was sufficient to parse all but the most extreme documents, and 6,000 I believe was sufficient to parse the home page of the 300,000 most-visited domains.
