Description
Right now, when you try to submit a lot of txs with high --batch-size value, we get:
Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 24] Too many open files'))
Alternatively, if I set lower value for --sleep (like 0.1), seems like the each batch is taking longer than 0.1 hence not increasing TPS much.

Research direction
Start by locating the spammer implementation and reproduce the issue with a high --batch-size, then compare behavior with a low --sleep value such as 0.1. Done means high-volume submission no longer exhausts open files and reducing --sleep results in the expected TPS improvement.
