Ah!  You skipped my Performance Tuning presentation... tsk tsk tsk

For the system

/sbin/sysctl -w fs.file-max=32767

**AND**

edit /etc/sysctl.conf so the setting sticks if you should ever have to reboot.

For an individual user "man ulimit".  But it is probably the system wide value,
 this starts at 8192,  way too low to do any real work.
