Hi,

80+ ? Does that mean 1000 and more ?

For 80+ connections (* 3 machines = 240) I would
not even start thinking about the spelling of MaxConnect.

If you have many connections to your server instance (like
more than 1000) AND you see that the machine is CPU bound
and that is caused (consumed) by the server instance, then
I would start serious thinking about MaxConnect.

Just recently I was in contact with a consultant who enforced
my impression with his experience that in general it is better
to run MaxConnect on separate machines, i.e. on machines
that do neither run clients nor the server. Otherwise you can
easily end up with CPU bound client machines which will not really
help overall performance of the system.

Regards,
Martin
