The current default value of `5` for the `MaxClientConnections` INI settings across the `[Parameters]` and `[HTTPServer]` sections should be set to a minimum value of `100`. 

Why? 

Setting the default to `5` inadvertently distorts scalability, especially in situations where there are multiple clients performing a mix of multithreaded interactions associated with Read-Only and Read-Write operations. Naturally, this also adversely affects performance and scalability perceptions in benchmarks.
