Sorry for wasting your time.
I never had in mind to disturb participants of this group.
Sometime I reply with delay to some posts.
In any case, I think that experiences must be shared and if I can give
my contribution to any body asking about something I tried before it
will be a pleasure for me.
I read the release notes and learned many things (not yet enougth ...)
but it mentionned that classic/windows is expérimental, and that made
me looking for feedback.

Do you mean there is drawback to put so high value? usually pages in
cache are accessed quicker than on disk.

>For Classic, the default page cache size is 75 pages, assuming a page

size of 2048 or 4096 bytes. That's why you were asked whether 20480
was a typo. On your high-spec'd machine, with a 4K page size you
might reasonably start with a page cache of 128 to 512 pages if RAM is
not being used excessively by other applications.

With Fbss and up to 50 users (connexions), I observed 2 Go ram maximum
usage on 4 Go installed, and fbserver memory usage is about 256 Mo.
There is no other main application on this server.
