Thats a LOT of threads - I can't believe your box still performs well with this many threads - or have you enabled keep-alives? The number of threads really depends on your application. I have max threads set to 750, or our 32bit 2.6 Linux systems. Our thread count normally doesn't go over 200. When the servers need to wait for the backend, and the requests start to queue (heading towards 1000) - you will end up with a huge problem anyway, as it is probably unlikely that your backend servers/ database, etc, will be able to catch up with the requests, but as I said, that depends how and what your application does.
