They're probably fine, but when you're making them yourself, the extra
bits are free. I would assume that the NSA can crack 1024-bit RSA[1],
so why not jump to 4096 so you don't have to do this again in a few years?
The performance overhead is also mostly negligible: the only thing the
public key crypto is used for is to exchange a secret which is then
used to do simpler (and faster) crypto.
