Does anyone have any opinions on this? What I'm worried about is of course running out of procs and thus hanging SER, I believed this to have happened several times..
Thanks..

Do increasing child procs actually do anything? When I do a 'ps axu' I only show 4 of the procs having CPU time, the rest having no cpu time at all. Any thoughts on this? Thanks, Matt

The children are not all equal. Some of them serve requests coming from UDP, some of them from TCP and some are auxiliary, like the timer process or the fifo server.
You can see the purpose of each children using serctl ps command.
If most of the traffic being processed by your server comes over UDP then only the UDP receivers will be running and the TCP receivers will be idle, but you still need them to be able to receive TCP based traffic.
Optimum number of processes depends on your hardware and the amount of traffic being processed. For common setups 8 children should be OK.
