This isn't true for me. I have max_opened_connections = 200. Before i 
set max_clients_per_second 20, donitor shows steadily increasing # of 
connections. Now i did as Sven proposed. And guess what: The # of 
connections was strictly kept (as donitor shows, no peaks, no 
valleys...) over the whole 24h (before T-Offline disconnects me).

So i consider this an approach in a good direction. As for me, this only 
had positive effects:

   *) mem-usage: 37M, downloading 9 popular files
   *) strict keeping of connections,
   *) equalized ratio of direct/indirect
      peers instead of only indirect ones.
   *) only a few negative next-retry-delays
      (i consider this as fewer queue-dropouts)
     => more dwnloads from emules
   *) to be continued... (and feel free to do so)
