Let's say you fill up RAM with the hash table and all user processes go
to swap, then there will be problems - I don't know what, but it doesn't
sound great. I expect we need to leave a certain amount for
user space processes and not allow the director to take more than a certain
amount of memory.

Maybe I'd better go grab it.
It would seem that we need a method of stopping the director hash table from
using all memory.

why does the persistency timeout affect the number of connections?
It affects the number of users that can be connected at any time.

what's the security problem?
