Default values for NetWare server parameters provide maximum performance
for most systems. You should seldom need to modify these values. But when
you need to modify them, we recommend that you first read the topics listed
here.

NetWare has been tuned for the specific duties of a network server. It has been
thoroughly tested with software tools designed to identify inefficiencies so
they can be eliminated. NetWare gives outstanding off-the-shelf performance.
NetWare is also self-tuning. The following parameters are dynamically
configured by the operating system:
Packet receive buffers
File cache buffers
Directory cache buffers
Memory for NLM programs
Service processes
Kernel processes
Kernel semaphores
Load balancing for multiple processors
File locks
