I wouldn't personally regard this as fine at all, unless you genuinely 
have so much rarely used memory in use that the kernel can page out 
twice the physical RAM in the machine without adverse effect, especially 
if this is a mail server and requires disk for other things.

I've run mail servers with 4GB of RAM each, which could just about run 
12 SA children but it was marginal, although each server was handling 
~130k mails a day without spooling many of them. The default of 5 is 
more than most people will ever need.
