My opinion is that half is the way to go... however, there was talk a
while back (regarding possible solutions to ICS) of a related
topic: allowing highly developed cities to produce more than one unit per
turn.  I still like the idea, and although I have no idea how to implement
it, think it would be a nice optional feature.  The idea is that a very
"vertically" developed civ could then produce enough units to defend
themselves against a player with dozens of smaller cities ("horizontally
developed", or ICS). 

It seems that this would be best if it were only available if a certain
improvement was made (perhaps factory, or manufacturing plant,
etc).  Maybe each of the above improvements would add one additional
possible unit production per turn.

Any opinions on that?
