At least on Win7 x64 with the 0.4.0-beta, I'm seeing in excess of 60^H^H70 simultaneous connections to/from the client.

This seems excessively high, for one. Additionally, there is no mechanism in the client itself to change the number, short of creating a bitcoin.conf (I limit my services wallets to 16 connections, already IMHO more than enough).
