Not really; I don't think descriptors are recycled immediately. 10 is really small for a busy system; it doesn't hurt to bump it (unless you're running 4MB of RAM, and then you **really** should buy more memory while it's cheap again). > So, I'm still wondering whether there's some way of determing how many > open descriptors each process has.
