D'oh! Why didn't I think of trying this before? maximumThreads=0 targetMaxThreads=512
This seems to be rendering the desired behavior with YThreads now, i.e., the factory is still generating threads beyond the target limit as needed, but the target limit *is* being factored in for estimating load. And the overflow threads are not running amok like before (no 2000+ threads). Not bad, not bad at all. :-) -- Conrad Sabatier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - "In Unix veritas" _______________________________________________ Support mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support
