Hi Scott,

It's recent enough to allow to set it to 0, but I did not try
it. I've talked to Mike Silbersack about this a while ago, and
the 'autosizing' just picks a reasonable value, according to
your RAM. I've even bumped maxusers to 768 which should be the same
value as chosen by the autosizing.

I don't run into any problems now, but I don't use the Gigabit
link at the moment. I first need to find a way to test it
reliably, before I put all services on that one.
