The remoting server uses both async sockets and threads. One thread can
handle several sockets, so you can reduce the number of threads
(server.nthreads) and increase server.maxSockPerThread before starting it.

The server will then be able to handle up to nthreads * maxSockPerThread
clients, if you have enough bandwidth/CPU. For example with 50 threads
it takes 12MB of memory. We have one server with always a few hundreds
connected users and it doesn't take much CPU or RAM.
