[smokeping-users] Whats the limit?

[Tore Lønøy]

Im wondering on the same issue. Have a 4 core Xeon 2.33 Ghz, 6 GB RAM,  
but i am uncertain which how often and  how many pings i should use.  
The default 300/20 seems wrong in my eyes. We consider something like  
60/5, input?


Best regards / Vennlig hilsen
