slowstart <start_time_in_ms>
The 'slowstart' parameter for a server accepts a value in milliseconds which
indicates after how long a server which has just come back up will run at
- full speed. The speed grows linearly from 0 to 100% during this time. The
- limitation applies to two parameters :
+ full speed. Just as with every other time-based parameter, it can be entered
+ in any other explicit unit among { us, ms, s, m, h, d }. The speed grows
+ linearly from 0 to 100% during this time. The limitation applies to two
+ parameters :
- maxconn: the number of connections accepted by the server will grow from 1
to 100% of the usual dynamic limit defined by (minconn,maxconn,fullconn).
