Joshua, We have ours set to 100 simultaneous requests per second. Here is our situation. We have 1.5 million page view per day with an average of 67 thousand visitors per day each spending about 20 minutes on our site.
The only limit is your CPU power, memory your app uses and DB capacity. It is my opinion that you can increase your simultaneous requests until your server loads reaches about 50-60% average load during normal usage. This will give you room for traffic spikes. Setting your # of requests too high will have no effect on your server if you don't get enough traffic to max out that setting. However, if you do get enough traffic to max out that number and your CF and or DB servers can't handle the load then your going to have problems. If you set your # of requests too low and your traffic has that maxed out then your also going to have problems. Keep adjusting until you find the right amount for your systems. Also, ignore the threads your seeing. They are listeners. -- Wil Genovese One man with courage makes a majority. -Andrew Jackson A fine is a tax for doing wrong. A tax is a fine for doing well.
