Puppet users - Jan 2014 - Doubt about lots of persistent connections

Hi community,
in a testing PE installation I see each agent maintains a persistent 
collection to ActiveMQ process in master server, to be used by mcollective 
in a push (vs pull) scheme.

As it's not so sure that one master is sending lots of petitions to agents, 
which are the advantages of this schema instead of non-persistent 
connections, specially for the case that there are lots of agents? (well, 
maybe this is a question more for ActiveMQ than Puppet, but...)

Could anyone tell about the hardware (mainly RAM) for the master server 
(with ActiveMQ) supporting 500 or 1000 Puppet agents?

  Thanks a lot in advance
