Subject:[p4] Guidelines for maxresults and Maxscanrows

I want to set maxresults and maxscanrows at arbitrarily high numbers and then start to eek that down to catch people with loose views or any other situations that may be adding unnecessary load on our perforce server. I was thinking values of ~(# of files in mainline) for maxresults and ~(# of branches)*(# of files in mainline) for maxscanrows as initial values. I realize that those are fairly liberal, but breaking builds is generally frowned upon...

`p4 help maxresults` mentions values of 50000 and 250000 as limits. I also wanted to check to see what other people may have found as useful guidelines as I can't help but think that it would also be dependent on the size of the depot.

Thanks, /shawn
