By soft, do you mean runtime configurable (so no recompile required) or do
you mean adaptive, so that somehow spread adapts the limits to the
application usage? 

Or do you mean something else? Usually I thought, 'soft limits' are limits
that can be gone above, but they either trigger a warning, or like rusage
are easily raised by the user.
