Thats completly a client issue.

Why should a client search for more sources if he already has 1000? If
they are dead it should remove them from its list and if they work it
should be content.

mldonkey uses lists and hashes most of the time and adding or removing
something from a 10K long list will take a lot of time.

Check your max_sources_per_file setting.
