 server.max-worker 

 
 p((. number of worker processes to spawn. This is usually only needed on servers which are fairly loaded and the network handler calls delay often (e.g. new requests are not handled instantaneously). 

 p((. Default: 0 

 p((. If you use server.max-worker, the mod_status module will not show the statistics of all the server's children combined. You will see different stats with each request. [[lighttpd:Docs:ModStatus|mod_status documentation]] 

 p((. Other modules are affected by this, too; every worker works for his own and there is no communication between them. Your log files may get screwed.
