Alter default 200KB of overhead per connection

[edevil]

In the README it is said that:

By default, stud has an overhead of ~200KB per connection--it preallocates some buffer space for data in flight between frontend and backend.

How can we change this default? 200KB per connection seems too much for me when the goal is to allow 10k connected clients. What will be the drawback of lowering this value?

Thanks.

it is not a value you can change. It's a fact: stud has an overhead of ~200KB :)

That seems like a lot. Is there a reason for it?

[ditoiu]

of course : the same reason the e-mail you send signed with PGP are larger than the plain ones.

I understand that some data needs to be stored per connection and some buffers allocated. But 200KB of memory space per connection seems a bit large.
