Doing it by clients is only a very rough way of determining the correct queue size.

It controls number of requests the server holds state for. You should determine the
normal number of requests received per second, then multiple it by cleanup_delay,
and double it to give you a bit of a buffer.

It's mainly useful for keeping the server from melting down completely in overload
situations. If you keep reaching the limit of the buffer and the server starts 
discarding requests, one of your backend databases or processes is too slow, or the
server is processing a very high number of packets per second and you've left the
queue value at default.
