WorkflowPostponeThreshold configuration for SharePoint 2010 Workflow

Question

I am trying to improve the performance of the workflows in a SharePoint 2010 environment.

I increased the Workflow Postpone Threshold value from 15 to 40 using the below command

Set-SPFarmConfig -WorkflowPostponeThreshold 40

It seemed to have improved workflow performance in general. However, I was wondering if there is an upper limit to this value. I was reading about this attribute here but it doesn't specify an upper threshold value

Also are there any other ways to improve the workflow performance in SharePoint 2010? I tried the below tweaks

WorkflowPostponeThreshold  - 200
WorkflowEventDeliveryTimeout  - 20

Answer 1

According to the article: Increasing this limit increases the throughput of starting and completing workflow tasks but also increases load against the content database and system resources.

So I think there is no upper limit for the parameter -WorkflowPostponeThreshold.

Besides, the three parameters to improve the workflow Performance.

1.Increase Throttle Size

2.Increase Default Batch Size

3.Increase Timeout
