I've upped it a bit, but it would require a server restart to get the
new setting into effect. This is relatively "expensive" for us. Does
anyone else share the viewpoint of Nasby, and does anyone have
recommendation for a good value? Our previous value was 200M, and I
don't want to go to the extremes just yet. We have 6G of memory
totally.
