Only you can answer these questions by testing your application with something like Jmeter. Devise tests that replicate user behaviour and increase the load until it breaks. Then you will be able to see what it can handle and how windows copes with the load.

It's fairly standard practice, and as you noted results in no errors, so don't worry about it.
