(also MAX_JOBS_RUNNING needs changing)

A decent fast XP box (over a GB of memory and a reasonable disk write
speeds) doing nothing else with this halved heap space should go to
near 200 without too much coaxing so long as you keep the queue length
below 20 thousand or so. (very rough numbers - do your own testing!)

A win2003 server seems to handle 200 just fine out of the box (same
constraint on jobs in queue)

This is for 6.8 - latest 6.9 may be considerably better...
