What kind of resources? Memory, CPU or bandwidth?

The main argument for allowing more connections to be open is that it is
very expensive (CPU-wise) to open a new connection.. If you allow for
more connections to stay open then less connections will need to be
opened.

Also.. You should never allow less than 2*50 connections if you are
running with the default routing table size since the node needs to be
able to keep two connections open per entry in the rt.
