7                 started for each service when prefork process model is enabled

10                 The prefork children are only started for those services that
11                 support prefork (currently ldap, kdc and netlogon).
12                 For processes that don't support preforking all requests are
13                 handled by a single process for that service.

16         <para>This should be set to a small multiple of the number of CPU's
17                 available on the server</para>

19         <para>Additionally the number of prefork children can be specified for
20                 an individual service by using "prefork children: service name"
21                 i.e. "prefork children:ldap = 8" to set the number of ldap
22                 worker processes.</para>
