hit the submit button before checking the link to the help.
the right link is
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/domhelp/v8r0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.help.lnt851.doc/Tuning_performance_of_the_server.html

too bad that we don’t have a NSF file and cannot pint everything into a single PDF.

this makes it quite difficult to search and to take offline.
I will ask about this again.

The product is great and very stable. Also the documentation is great. Only the way they provide it could be better.

100 threads is the default value.

Not totally sure about this but Travler needs more HTTP threads in some situations and I guess they update the settings automatically for that reason. I have not checked details how this happens but Travler does a lot of good things automatically. 100 HTTP threads are not bad and should not cause performance issues.

The reason for those HTTP threads is that for iPhones push is implemented via a long running HTTP request. And this blocks a HTTP thread.
If you only have 40 threads you might run out of HTTP resources soon.

I will check if I can find more information about it and how this can be set in a different way on via Travler.
