Subject: RPCNFSDCOUNT, still recommend 8 x CPU ?

Hi,

Is it common to use a larger number of NFS daemon (RPCNFSDCOUNT) then
the value recommended in faq, with today hardware?

i.e.

In the faq, it said try to set to 8 x CPU. So for a Quad Core SMP
system, it should be 64.

However, I see quite a few of people set RPCNFSDCOUNT=128.

http://www.google.com.hk/search?hl=zh-TW&q=RPCNFSDCOUNT%3D128&btnG=Google+%E6%90%9C%E5%B0%8B&meta=&aq=f&oq=

With today hardware (QC SMP, Dual Gigabit Enthernet, bundles of SAT
disks), do you think this value make sense?
