performance increase - connection refused exceptions!!!

Hi guys
 
I need to know what the max is that I can set my connections to.
 
We are running the app of the server that is robust.
 
Want to up it to about maxProcessors from 75 to 500?
 
Thanks

I recommend you play with jarkarta JMeter to have informations about
your response time depending on load, simulteanous request served and so
on. It's difficult to tell you the behaviour of tomcat with
maxprocessors at 500, this mainly depend on the os, the server, the
bandwidth and the response time of the webapplication running inside
tomcat. All tomcat does is dispatch incoming request to webapplication
after a small amount of preprocessing.

Increasing the maxProcessor could lead to more context switching by os
(which takes time) which will increase the response time for a request,
which mean a processor will be used for more time, which mean (if you
assume stable incoming requests rate) more processors needed at the same
time which will need more thread, which will stabilize at some point
overall decreasing your quality of service. On the other hand, reducing
processors could lead to people waiting longer on the processors queue,
reducing response time and reducing quality of service. There is an
optiumum you need to find experimentally :)
