Usually the value does not need to be changed. If the system reports overload, the [[System_Info_Page|System Info Page]] should be checked. There is detailed [[System_Info_Page|load]] page when clicking on the [[System_Info_Page|load]] percentage.

Depending on the complexity of the network traffic, it can be beneficial to increase or decrease the value. The default value on most system is 4 (if the DB mode is available).

If DB message lost counters appear in the detailed load statistics (by clicking on the current load percentage), it means that the DB threads where not capable of processing the data created by the analyzing threads.

In this case it is beneficial to decrease the “DB thread factor” to use more DB threads and thus decrease the load per thread.
