I am not sure. You said previously that you wanted to keep ten thousands of concurrently open connections for the sake of 'politeness'. To me that pretty much implies that the I/O reactor has to select through tens of thousand connections, most of which are not utilized. This certainly carries a significant cost in terms of performance. (Unless I am missing something).
