5.3. How to tune your system for best Caudium performances

 o Increase your system max descriptors numbers :
 
 # echo 60000 > /proc/sys/fs/file-max
 # echo 180000 > /proc/sys/fs/inode-max
 # ulimit -n 60000
 o mount your filesystems with the "noatime" option
 o make sure your disks holding the logs are "fast enough"

 o You can tweak a bit your TCP/IP stack :
 # echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_syncookies
 # echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_ecn
 # echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_timestamps
 # echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_window_scaling
