I am trying to optimize multiple connections per time to a TCP socket server.

Is it considered good practice, or even rational to initiate a new thread in the listening server every time I receive a connection request?

At what time should I begin to worry about a server based on this infrastructure? What is the maximum no of background threads I can work, until it doesn't make any sense anymore?

Platform is C#, framework is Mono, target OS is CentOS, RAM is 2.4G, server is on the clouds, and I'm expecting about 200 connection requests per second.
