Hi Daniel Cardoso,

this depends on certain factors, for example the number of processors/ cores 
in your system, the protocols you want to support, and the memory size. More 
processed could improve the usage of all your processors, but each process 
allocates their own private memory segment, that is not available anymore for 
other processes.

In my experience the number of children is not that important for performance, 
you may just choose the default size of 8.

Cheers,

Henning
