My understanding is that even on a busy system, a setting of 1 (or is that 0)
should be sufficient if all is going well.
SYS_RECV's tend to imply that there is a network problem, or you are under

I suspect upping the dafault does little harm (may not do much good,
as it is just a request to the O/S, and many (older) kernels have "5"
compiled in).
