I wonder why you have the service count so high? I'd drop it down, or
do you really have 1025 connections in 60 seconds?
>From the docs:
service_count
Number of client connections to handle until the process kills
itself. 0 means unlimited. 1 means only a single connection is handled
until the process is stopped - this is the most secure choice since
there’s no way for one connection’s state to leak to the next one. For
better performance this can be set higher, but ideally not unlimited
since more complex services can have small memory leaks and/or memory
fragmentation and the process should get restarted eventually. For
example 100..1000 can be good values.
So maybe drop it down to 100 for now and see how that works for you.
