I've gotten as many as 60 browsers concurrently running in 10 threads.
 Closing each browser at the end of each test frees up enough
resources to run a much larger number of tests.  I think the number of
threads Ruby can handle is arbitrarily large, but each thread will
compete for resources on the local machine, so it's easy to hit
performance bottlenecks with a smallish number of threads, unless
you're very careful.
