Note that raising MAXCLIENTS lowers the number of resources each client
can have since the resource namespace is fixed across all clients in the
X11 protocol, and evenly divided among them.

Years ago we fixed this in Xsun in Solaris by offering an option to set
maxclients at runtime to either 128 or 1024, allowing sites the option
to set this themselves, but it did incur a small performance cost across
the X server everytime that flag was checked. If someone wanted to
investigate a similar option in Xorg, I could release that code.
