1) Work pace: A slow work pace can do wonders for the hub when the connection (upload) is maxed out. Try
"Skalman" (2), "Sleeping" (1) or even "Coma" (0).
(Settings > Hub Control > Work Pace)

2) DNS Lookup: Can slow the login procedure down quite a bit, you might want that disabled.
(Security > General security > uncheck "Perform DNS lookup")

3) Spam control: By limiting the MyINFO- and search-rate we can gain quite a few users.
Set "New MyINFOs" to "5 per 300 seconds". Make the checkbox "grayed".
Set "Searching" to "5 per 300 seconds". Make the checkbox "grayed".
Set "Mainchat" to "3-4 per 10 seconds". Use a natural check, not a "grayed" one.
Set "Private messages" to whatever you like. I use "5 per 10 seconds" and "grayed".
Set "Nicklist" to "2 per 600 seconds". Make the checkbox "grayed".
You can leave "Max spam warnings" untouched at 6, but I prefer 3.
(Security > Spam control)

4) Length restrictions: We can leave most of these settings to default, except for "Mainchat
max length". On a large hub a long message in the mainchat can do quite a bit of damage to your bandwidth.
Set "Mainchat max length" to 400 or less.
(Security > Restrictions > Length restrictions)

5) Passive search restrictions: This is a gem. We can save quite a bit of bandwidth here.
But we still want the hub to be "useable" for passive users,
so we can't go overboard in the restrictions.
I have found that the following settings seem to be a good compromise.
This is however kind of a delicate matter. Passive users may not like to be limited too much.
Use this feature wisely, and listen to what your users have to say.
Set "Max search replies" to between 50 and 100.
Set "Min length any file type" and "Min length specific file type" to whatever you like.
(Security > Restrictions > Passive search restrictions)

6) MyINFO distribution: This is probably where we have the most to gain, bandwidth wise.
On all of these settings we will use a "grayed" check, so that the operators get any (and all) changes instantly.
You can of course let the description tag be visible to all users if you like,
by unchecking "Disable description tag".
However, that will affect the bandwidth useage and thus the userlimit quite a bit.
Set "Pool MyINFO changes for" to 5 minutes and "grayed".
Set "Disable description" to "grayed".
Set "Disable description tag" to "grayed".
Set "Disable email" to "grayed".
Set "Disable connection speed information" to disabled (unchecked).
