It sounds like limits(1) might be needed in some cases. That's why
it exists. I really don't think this is an issue that needs to be
fiddled with in the default installation. If "daemon" resources
don't suit a particular installation, then obviously they need to
change it or use an alternative class with better tuned resources
for a particular case, but there's no formula that will suit everyone
in all cases.
