ERL_MAX_ETS_TABLES

[Evans, Matthew]

Hi,

I know the default for this is 1400, based on this information:

http://erlang.org/doc/efficiency_guide/advanced.html

The issue is I want to have many more tables. Effectively I have an application that has 1 ETS table per process, but many processes.

What (other than memory) are the implications of too many tables (I'm looking at 5000 processes max)?

Thanks

Matt
