If a server has limited resources what settings should be chosen to have the minimum impact on the server, hard disk, Server RAM and Network Load?
If a server has limited resources then the only thing that the administrator can realistically do is limit the number of clients that can connect to the server. They could also reduce the number of worker threads via the Admin Console which will reduce the load on the server machine but will affect search times. There are no hard and fast rules for the settings and these will depend on the machine and the duty cycle of connected clients, hence there may be an element of trial and error tuning necessary on sites who find the default setup unsatisfactory.
