The cost of handlinbg more that 64 servers increases the cost substantially
but in terms of server selection and memory to keep the extra information
around. It just didn't make sense. 64 looks like a good number as well as
fitting into a good data type and a good scaling turn-over point.

> What else scales with the number of server olbd's?
I don't understand the question.
