Hm - When everybody disconnects at nigth, the gab closes down to
somewhere between 2 and 1000.
This happens every evening.
I know this, because this was a major concern at a certain point in time.
So almost 2 years ago I optimized my programs, and made sure that
every transaction I start gets committed.

Bur during the day the gab usually get bigger and bigger until they
start to disconnect.
I have seen it as big as 100K.
But usually it around 20 - 40 K at all time.
