[LDM #QYR-744357]: increase Q size

Virginia,

Yup. Later version memory-map the product-queue better than earlier versions.

Later versions of the LDM allow you to obtain as large a product-queue as is 
possible on the system in question. The actual limit depends on the 
"programming environments" that are available. Some 32-bit systems nevertheless 
support large files (files larger than 4 GB).

I don't think a larger queue will reduce latency, which is the difference in 
time between when a product is created and when it arrives.
