The problem is only in the net-next tree (not mainline 2.6.29-rcX).
Bisected down to this commit is the problem:

inet: Allowing more than 64k connections and heavily optimize bind(0) time.
With simple extension to the binding mechanism, which allows to bind more
than 64k sockets (or smaller amount, depending on sysctl parameters),
we have to traverse the whole bind hash table to find out empty bucket.
And while it is not a problem for example for 32k connections, bind()
completion time grows exponentially (since after each successful binding
we have to traverse one bucket more to find empty one) even if we start
each time from random offset inside the hash table.
So, when hash table is full, and we want to add another socket, we have
to traverse the whole table no matter what, so effectivelly this will be
the worst case performance and it will be constant.
Attached picture shows bind() time depending on number of already bound
sockets.
Not sure why but it breaks VNC, see attached screenshot.Attachment:
