paranoid checking and simultaneous connections

[Jeff_Newton]

I've noticed that when I enable paranoid checking the number of
simultaneous connections soars to the max I have set (400).  With
paranoid off the connections hover around 65.  

Anyone care to share what they see.  I'd like to run tcpserver with
paranoid checking but not if my machine can't keep up.  Is there any way
to guage how many connections your machine should be able to handle?

Cheers,
