I'm not sure ... On the one hand most users will only need to accept one or at most a handful connections at a time, and opening many connections can be used as a form of DoS attack, but on the other hand I think there are other services that use more memory, and those users that need to can add -l to OIDENT_OPTIONS in /etc/default/oident. Also, there is a timeout after which connections are terminated and which can be shortened with -t.
