Not quite - maxconns is the number of requests a thread will be allowed 
to serve before it exits and a new one is spawned.  Reusing an existing 
thread is vastly more efficient than spawning a new one, but sometimes 
resources can leak if a thread sticks around too long.  If there's not 
an available thread to handle a request, it gets queued.

Another reason to set maxconns higher is that if it is set too low, the 
server can crash under load due to a race condition.  I agree with 100 
as a minimum; 1000 is quite reasonable.
