10 requests concurrently? I'd have thought that Erlang could pick these up quickly, but there *is* a TCP listen queue, which on many systems defaults to 5. That is, if Erlang were sequentially doing accept - process - accept - process ..., you might get this error if there were more than 5 outstanding requests. It should be easy to test if you write a little _external handler which just does a sleep. The TCP listen queue is tunable at the C level - I don't know if Erlang provides a way to set it though.
