Sorry, I don't know about the tweaking of the kernel that you asked about.

Given the small number of users that I support, my concern is more
focused on minimizing cache latency than on boosting the number of
req/sec. The defaults provided on RedHat's v6.x and v7.2 distros have
always provided enough connections for my needs.
