The advice we got from our ColdFusion support engineer is 3 to 5 simultaneous requests per processor, with the restart value set at 80% of the simultaneous requests (threads).
We use 5 threads, with a restart value of 4 on our single-processor servers and 10 threads with a restart of 8 on our two-processor servers. (CF 4.5, Solaris 7, Oracle 8.1.7) A database-intensive application would use 4 or 5 requests, and a CF-intensive application would use 3 or 4 requests. For more specific values, the application must be load-tested.
