Sorry, but this is not good advice. 5000 objects in the cache is normally  
plenty, and you should look into caching the front-end before you even  
consider this. 50K objects in the cache will eat *a lot* of memory, and  
most likely cause swapping.

Cache properly with Apache or Squid in front first, then investigate the  
more complex settings.
