Wait. What? Since you cannot share easy nor multi handles between threads
(running in parallel), and as you have 400 multi handles you cannot use less
than 400 easy handles if you want them all to do something at all times.

Are you adding easy handles to 400 multi handles and yet expect only 10 of
them to do anything?

Multi handles can limit the amount of physical connections, but first and
formost you should not add more easy handles to the multi handles than you're
prepared to see used as physical connections. Then, setting MAXCONNECT will
help you keep the number of idle connections low when they're not actively
used by a handle.

Quite possibly I've misunderstood what you meant...
