I know this page and I corrected the values according to these hints,
but because of the immense problems ,i set them back to the same
values we use on the old servers.

Because it is not rush hour now and i am leaving office for 3 days, I do
this on tuesday , to have a chance to roll back if errors occur.

I have done this before, but when i remember right, the only effect is,
that every second dozens of postmaster processes started and closed, because
the connection is thrown away. This helps for now, as i can see on "low
traffic" , but when I tried first, we had heavy load just by starting this
large number of processes. There are 5-10 php skripts running per second, in
peeks maybe even twice or more.
This is a problem for the system , when for every process postmaster must be
started, or am I wrong ?
bye
Andre
