Depends on:
- RAM
- I/O operations (do you run UPDATE, INSERT very often?)
- fsync() setting (-F or 7.1)
- size of DB
- size of data transfered between client-server
- number of used tables in typical query
- and more and more.. :-)
..cca you need for each connected client 2Mb + x RAM (where 'x'
depend on processed data). Not is problem create table and write query
that spend all your memory.
