I changed them just now and was able to easily achieve these numbers without a wink: *pid = *50054 (process #1, nbproc = 1) *uptime = *0d 0h03m25s *system limits:* memmax = unlimited; ulimit-n = 100047 *maxsock = *100047; *maxconn = *50000; *maxpipes = *0 current conns = 5562; current pipes = 0/0; conn rate = 64/sec Running tasks: 1/5587; idle = 97 % I am going to load some real clients on to the system tomorrow when school is back in session and see how that works, hopefully that is all I needed. With Apache Bench I am getting good numbers on the stats page but my client is still sluggish so I may have a bottleneck somewhere else now. I will report back with real world results, thanks for everyone's suggestions so far, it is much appreciated. I do have some other questions though I will post in a separate topic. Daren
