 On a T1000 I have 700 consoles - most are actually getting the console 
connection over ssh scripts to SP's of various systems.

 I'm not sure what the exact startup sequence of conserver is, but that is the 
most likely case of running into issues (hundreds of ssh or other init commands 
running at the same time)

 In the case of the 700 consoles, looks like memory utilization from conserver 
on those is around 200-400 MB.  CPU utilization is pretty trivial.
