I resolved the "error_connect_emfile" errors by increasing the file 
descriptors on the tsung machine. However, the behavior remains the same 
(although no errors occur). I suspect that the problem may not be on the 
nginx side but on the tsung box side: the latter may be unable to 
generate a higher number of requests and handle the load.

So, I think this case might be considered "closed" until further testing 
confirms findings (or rejects them).
