NR_OPEN value

[Hector Herrera]

Hello,

Sorry if this is not the right place for this
question.

I need to increase the maximum number of fds
from 1024 to 4096 per process.

I changed:

fs.h: changed INR_OPEN from 1024 to 4096
limits.h: changed NR_OPEN from 1024 to 4096

My application now works as expected, but the
system performance has decreased somewhat.

My question is, how do my changes affect the
kernel? should I consider using more but less
powerful servers instead of concentrating the
load in one single server?

Thank you
