Documentation

Maximum scan depth for directory trees.

A :tree fileset is defined by a base directory the contents of which will be recursively added to the menu. filesets-tree-max-level tells up to which level the directory structure should be scanned/listed, i.e. how deep the menu should be. Try something like

("HOME -- only one level"
(:tree "~" "^[^.].*[^~]$")
(:tree-max-level 1)
(:filter-dirs-flag t))
("HOME -- up to 3 levels"
(:tree "~" "^[^.].*[^~]$")
(:tree-max-level 3)
(:filter-dirs-flag t))

and it should become clear what this option is about. In any case, including directory trees to the menu can take a lot of memory.
