Yes, we set both this parameters to 0 for high-loaded web-sites. Other has default value.

Yes, we set MONO_THREADS_PER_CPU=2000 for all web-sites. Before it we get other more annoing issue "Service Temporary available".

10 is too low for us, we have up to 100 simulatelous requests for some sites.

We are thinking about it, and we will do it if rc2 doesn't fix this problem.

We set MonoMaxMemory directive for all vhosts, but it seems like not work. All mono-process grow higher than directive values.
