The usual answer applies - "it depends". Some of the I/O modules (eg select and poll) require each special port to be explicitly polled once every 10ms. The epoll/kqueue etc, only poll them when other things do I/O and no less than every 10ms. So you need a very fast server or it will kill performance for anything else. And yes, having configuration state for each port means a lot more memory used. These daya the use of TLS on ports means OpenSSL loads the full set of trusted CAs into that state. So it can get VERY huge for no obvious reason. I dont think it is wise to embed larger limits. The one we have is an order of magnitude larger than necessary for most installs. So it is not generally useful. All of the above is why there is no ./configure option. But there have been a handful of queries wanting more, so the build option is conditional.
