lots of different problems can arise I'm sure, but my own experience with a hundred or so connections is minimal/zero disk reads and lots of net throughput. a "top" only ever picks up the odd instance here and there, with the load-balanced httpd server taking top slot always. However, wowza, hasnt been opened up to the tube streaming side yet...
Finally, any protections in place to prevent stream ripping/hotlinking? Another source of unnecessary load....
