Maximum limit for connected users

[Migrated From Jforum.net]

Am I right to say that jforum allows up to 50 connected users?

If so, what are the possible maximum limit that I can safely set upwards?

Thanks in advance,

Hm, you saw this "50" thing in a class, right?! ( I don't remember which class I put that, but there is a LinkedHashMap using this value somewhere ).
But I don't want to, by default, limit the max number of online users, although it is an interesting feature to have ( for example, allow the admin to restrict the number of concurrent connected users ).

But I also didn't stress test with jforum, but I, in theory, the limit is the memory you have ( and cpu counts too, but you'll need much more memory than cpu ).

I saw it in SecurityRepository class

private static int MAX_USERS = 50;

So do you mean jforum has limit connected users to 50 and the maximum value to set is dependent on the memory, right?

Ah, now I remember .. There is not limit.. the 50 is to just control the queue:

private static Map securityInfoMap = new LinkedHashMap(MAX_USERS) {
	protected boolean removeEldestEntry(Entry eldest) {
		return this.size() > MAX_USERS;
	}
};

So, if we have more than 50 users, the old ones will be removed to give space to the new ones. In fact, I did that to try to "resuse" memory.
