I've set the max file handles up to 32k, but I'm wondering how high this can really go beofre running into problems? I saw the discussion recently about problems when you have more then 32K processes and so far I'm not hitting that, but I do want to raise all the other limits up to the point where they are all hit at about the same time (for file handles it looks like it's currently useing ~4-5 per process so I would be talking 128k+ file-max.
