Tuxedo Performance Tuning Spreadsheet

The values produced by this spreadsheet should be taken as examples only. Always test the IPC configuration fully to ensure
that there are no impacts on the overall environment. Please note that the values provided below are minimum values and in
reality values should be set to multiples of these values to take in to consideration other systems in the environment and future
Tuxedo expansion. The default value gives an indication of a typical value for this attribute, the actual Value itself gives the
mimimum value that could be set for the system to boot. The correct value for your system is typically between these two
values.
