number of S functions allowed to be simultaneously active
processes.  Increasing this number, when the system is
lightly loaded, can lead to more rapid response, if the user
is re-calling the same S functions repeatedly.  However,
there is a danger of degrading overall performance if `n' is
too large.  There will likely be a local limit to `n'; its
value is a delicate and (currently) poorly understood issue
to be considered by local UNIX and S gurus.  By default, `n'
is 5.
