Default Mesh skewness

Hope someone can offer some advise.

From the FLUENT manual, it is recommended that the the mesh is smoothed to maximum skewness of 0.6, for 3D simulation. However, the suggested (alternating 4 smoothing iterations followed by swapping until no faces swapped) method does not improve all the skewed meshes. In other word, I can still further smooth my mesh.

Is it advisable to use a high number of smoothign iteration, say 2000 iterations, to ensure all the skewed meshes are improved until no nodes are moved upon further iterations?
