Thanks Racke for responding.

I just have the standard settings. 

ifdef TRAFFIC =~ /rpc/i
Message RPC traffic settings.
PreFork             Yes
StartServers        5
MaxServers          0
MaxRequestsPerChild 100
HouseKeeping        2
PIDcheck            120
Endif

Is there documentation about the effect of each of the parameters.
