What happens if the number of clients increases?
It depends on what they’re doing. If they all have to share the same data then the disk holding that data will eventually saturate. It may be possible to replicate the data multiple times to share the load. If they are accessing data on different disks then there is little noticeable effect. Eventually, there may be too many clients for a particular lock server. That problem can be solved by allocating multiple lock servers.
