Maximum Processing Attempts

[Christiaan den Besten]

Does it realy hit performance noticably? ..... in normal behaviour the 
database is extremly small .... so it should probably always live in 
disk-cache. And if people want to be sure, they can place it on tmpfs, 
doesn't hurt if it gets lost :)

We have seen 'our share of broken messages' that trashed some of our 
servers, .... would have loved to have had the processing database back then 
:) :)

bye,
Chris
