Check with your software vendors.

I was contemplating doing that once, but was advised against it... our
application software (JBA) apparently could choke at 40.  Also, some
utility software will run slower because it can't access API's directly.
Hawkeye Pathfinder is a good example of that.  It has to use OUTFILES for
everything... which is much slower.
