something on your machine is horribly wrong. You should, on an unloaded
box, be able to open at least 100 connections a second. 1,000 or more is
common.
What OS etc... are you running? What does free, top, or ps ax|grep post
show during this process? Are you running out of swap or free memory or
something like that? Is there a lot of disk access when you connect
(iostat -x)???
