It's application specific. Your sweet spot is going to be big enough that you don't experience capacity starvation during load bursts when you have temporary periods where more traffic is coming in than you are clearing, but small enough that you don't waste resources. Experimentation will probably be required to find the best balance. If you try evented_mongrel, you don't need to worry about num_procs. It's irrelevant for the evented_mongrel.
