+It is a known issue with Node [http.Agent](https://nodejs.org/docs/v0.10.39/api/http.html#http_class_http_agent) and `agent.maxSockets`, which is set to `5`. This can cause low performance of application and (in rare cases) deadlocks. To avoid this you can set it manually:
+
+```js
+require('http').globalAgent.maxSockets = Infinity;
+require('https').globalAgent.maxSockets = Infinity;
+```
+
+This should only ever be done at the top-level application layer.
