Hi all,

I'm running a boinc project with very short workunits - usually less than 5 seconds. In order to keep my clients running at 100%, I have altered these values in the cc_config file:

<max_file_xfers>16</max_file_xfers>
    <max_file_xfers_per_project>16</max_file_xfers_per_project>

This way they have enough incoming work, and upload the results fast enough so that they do not pause the calculations due to a backlog of results. Because of this, however, my server is getting hammered by tons of requests. I increased the apache2 MaxClients and ServerLimit variables, which alleviated the problem for only a few seconds.

Is there some way I can configure apache to deal with this better, or some better way to approach the problem? One of my working conditions is that the clients remain running at 100% at all times.

Thanks for any help.

Cheers,
Rye
