Each live connection uses a bit of memory itself and there can be a few thundering herd issues with a lot of connections. that said, a big server, properly configured can handle several hundred to a few thousand connections at once. We have simple little session servers that store most of what they do in memory and handle around 700 connections with a single SATA hard drive. The data is disposable so fsync is off and we can just rebuilt one from an image in minutes if need be.
