Your practial limit is going to be the number of socket connections a
client (or possibly server) can have open at a time

I'd guess a client or server could easily have a few thousand
connections open at a time

I wrote a pooling wrapper[1] for the python memcache client library so
my app servers keep about 5 connections open to each server (not that
I had much of a problem to begin with.. but it seemed the right thing
to do).
