I´m looking information about this setting. 
in the control panel 5 is the recommended value but I want more info about this.

Thank You!

It checks the server load and will deny users access to the site if it is too high. You'd need to establish what a standard load is on your server before configuring this. Shared servers will typically have a higher load as they're serving lots of sites, or large servers with lots of CPU cores may have a higher load which is perfectly normal.

Server load basically indicates the capacity of the server to carry out instructions, and is 1 point per CPU core. So on a 4-core server, a load of 4 means it's at max capacity (like 4 lanes full of traffic). Whereas for a 16-core server, a load of 4 is only at 25% capacity. Typically you don't want the load to go higher than 70-75%.
