#### Limitations
|
||||||
|
There will be an upper bound of the supported `rate` which varies on the
|
||||||
|
machine being used.
|
||||||
|
You could be CPU bound (unlikely), memory bound (more likely) or
|
||||||
|
have system resource limits being reached which ought to be tuned for
|
||||||
|
the process execution. The important limits for us are file descriptors
|
||||||
|
and processes. On a UNIX system you can get and set the current
|
||||||
|
soft-limit values for a user.
|
||||||
|
```shell
|
||||||
|
$ ulimit -n # file descriptors
|
||||||
|
2560
|
||||||
|
$ ulimit -u # processes / threads
|
||||||
|
709
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
Just pass a new number as the argument to change it.
