Hi, experts.

A quick, easy question for some of you, but I'm racking my brains over it
due to lack of experience.

/etc/sysconfigtab notes max-proc-per-user = 128

What might be the consequences or ramifications of changing it, to, say,
500? Why would one do this? Any drawbacks to watch out for? (I know some
systems has this value in the thousands, so 500 shouldn't be too bad, but
I'm not sure.)

Thanks for your help.
