This is also why I'm not sure if my settings are "the best" I can set up for my needs. Even if I understand what for example "max listen pipes" means I don't know why this value is set as default to 4 and what are the drawbacks when setting it to the maximum allowed value of 20. I'm monitoring the server from both outside as inside (logfiles) and can't see any problems up to now. So I believe the values are ok.
