Description

This parameter indicates the maximum number of sdaemon threads that can be used by an individual thread. Such threads are allocated by New method for Daemon objects; or by a number of the (deprecated) Sirius $functions such as: $CommBg, $Command or $CommndL.

Since sdaemon threads are a relatively scarce resource, it is not a good idea for a thread to use more than a handful of them at a time. Unfortunately, with Daemon objects, especially such objects embedded in another class, it is possible for a single runaway request to cause great problems by quickly consuming every daemon thread in an Online.
