max processes

[aphro <nate@firetrail.com>]

i was wondering what people do for max processes for a webserver, until
recently my system was doing fine with a max of 30 processes, but i added
a new(big) virtual domain which eats up a lot of them, i increased it to
120 ..how high can i go and still be safe?  running linux
2.0.36+securelinux patch
