Thanks Marc. I have: max_concurrent_checks=0

I ran the -s option and it produced a bunch of stats. (see below) But I am
not sure which line is the recommendation you refer to.

In addition it does report some savings I could get by using the -x and -u
options. Maybe I ought to enable those. Not sure whether those will be
latency reduction (good) or  execution time reduction (not so relevant for
me)

object configuration would be useful.
