There isn't currently any way to override the accuracy level, but I do have some plans to try and make the accuracy more adaptive to the size of the model rather than fixed at one specific size. There are a couple of things that do this in v2 so far such as Join and Network. As time goes on I want to tune up more things to work in a similar way but it can tend to be a somewhat delicate area to mess around with.

What will probably happen also is that your file size shouldn't grow quite as quickly when you do some additional operations at the somewhat smaller size level, like booleans, etc... since those will generate less dense intersection curves.

I'm actually kind of surprised that it made much of difference right away.

Oops, that is definitely an omission there! Yeah that would definitely be better for those to scale along with objects. I should be able to fix it up to do that in the next v2 beta. By the way you can disable the scaling if you wish by going to Options / General / Unit options / Scale on unit system change checkbox.
