The maxuser variable is a multiplier for kernel variables. This variable
is not for setting a max user limit.
The initial value of 10 isn't that bad. 250 is _overkill_. It makes
certain kernel structures too huge and _kills_ your performcance.
I'd choose values of 10-20 depending on the amount of memory
you have and the number of users, that will work at the same time
on your system.
