I think equally important (to sites that serve alot of traffic on
production boxes) is the value of NR_TASKS in linux/tasks.h. The default
allows 256 simultaneous requests, which isn't a whole lot of procesess for
something like a busy apache. I think it would be great if this value
could be set in /proc/kernel/max-tasks or something like that, rather than
having to edit the source and recompile. Maybe this has already been an
idea though. It seems like some servers like squid and news servers
require lots of fd's with high load, where as you pointed out, daemons
like apache just fork processes, so those have the other need of increased
NR_TASKS.....
