Same here regarding access. I have PersistTimeout in the HTTP server at 5 seconds, with MaxPersistRequest at 10. I'll have to dig and see if I can see the documentation that I used to come up with those numbers. I use persistent connections mostly to reduce the work used for SSL handshakes. What kind of values I have in WebSphere I can't recall, I'll have to check that out, too. Which version of WAS are you running? As Mr. Gray said, are you using the plugin, or are users coming straight in? What's the frequency of hits for a user? Any static content? How many hits per view? SSL or not?
Persistent connections can kill you or save you. It depends on your application. Also, you may get a better response if you post this on the WebSphere list or the WebSphere Forum or MVS-OE.
