recommended number of listener_jobs

[Robert Rogers]

Thanks!

The reason I ask about this is that while benchmarking MogileFS, I've found that when forking off requests for any more than 29 - 30 child processes the mogilefs::backend starts failing to connect and throws this error:

MogileFS::Backend: couldn't connect to mogilefsd backend at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/MogileFS.pm line 91

Specifically, I've got a basic fork_and_work script which forks off a number of child processes than runs thru a specified number of runs.

All looks good upto children < 30. After 30 mogilefs starts rejecting requests(??).  Is this weird?

Thx again.
