If this could be made to be adjustable at runtime then it would make more
sense for the 'critical app' to call a function to adjust this value
instead. I believe, this method would also allow you to have different
lookup algorithms for each process. The process would just set the expected
number of file descriptors of something like that. Then, you'd have the
most efficient lookup for each process.
