I think the last time it was changed was in Emacs 20.x:

GNU Emacs 18.59.1 of Tue Jul 25 1995 on cache.zk3.dec.com (dec-osf)
gc-cons-threshold's value is 100,000

GNU Emacs 19.28.1 (alpha-dec-osf3.0, X toolkit) 
gc-cons-threshold's value is 100,000

GNU Emacs 20.7.1 (i386-redhat-linux-gnu, X toolkit)
gc-cons-threshold's value is 400,000
