Yes, i changed this value.
But i also changed a lot of other #define with bigger values, because
of the eavy use of all HW resources my users were needing. (maximum number
of processes and so on...)
It has been funny.
First i installed via NFS the slackware-current for sparc (now obsoleted,
and developed at sourceforge as splackware),
then i upgraded the kernel, then i installed a new disk
to make the swap and so on...
The latest kernel i used before the 3500 was sended to other uses
was 2.4.7.
The worser kernel on that server was 2.4.5, absolutelly it had the worst
VM i ever saw on ultrasparc.
