In general, I recommend MX_MAXIMUM be about the amount of RAM in your
system divided by 20MB. So on a 512MB system, an MX_MAXMIMUM of 26 or so
should be safe. If you usually have more than MX_MINIMUM slaves running,
then bump MX_MINIMUM up to a couple more than the "usual" number of
active slaves.

Absolutely. That will help a lot. Also, 2.34's queueing feature might
help (I can understand why you want to wait for 2.35.)
