Serveroverload withore degrees in CB Connections?

I have a question to the plugin CB Connections.

I would like to increase the number of shown connections. In the source code appears the following warning: "changing this (degrees) to more may overload your server and shut it down. time is exponential. You've been warned."

How large is the difference from degree=3 to degree=4? What means the server may overload and shut down? Is the difference really so large? I have an own Server and when I will have 5000 Users ore more, i will install the MySQL on a seperate Server. It is enough? And what's with 20.000 or 30.000 Users? :blink:

Regards...

I believe that exponential says it all.

For example (using base 10 just to illustrate) 10 to the 3 power would equal 1000

but 10 to the 4 power would equal 10000

so we are talking instead of 1000 units 10000 units.

O.K. - i will observe the server monitoring and if necessary i will set it back to degree=3. Thanks a lot...
