Is take from the space set by "-s" or additionally? Is there any better way to set the XID, instead of using smaller images? I'm not sure about the drawbacks when setting workspace_backend to e.g. 512k.

Hi,

Workspaces are local to each Varnish thread. It's a common pattern used to reduce thread contention when they need to allocate memory. The amount of memory consumed by workspaces is additional to any storage defined with the -s parameter. Having a large workspace (e.g. 1MB) does not necessarily imply that each worker thread is going to consume 1MB. That's just virtual memory. If not really used by all worker threads, then that's not going to be a problem.

Best,
