In my experience the connections never get fairly distributed. I can reproduce 
this just increasing the number of connections per 5 seconds to 20 again. The 
effect is imediate.

I get connection timeouts in HTTP (more apparent, i'm sure other protocols 
suffer too) and have to reload a series of times before the connection "goes" 
and even then it then fails for some other elements in the page.
