Noob ?s: Local Peer Discovery and Global Maximum Connections

[flunkycarter]

What does Local Peer Discovery in Transmission do?

also

Global Maximum Connections in help says:

It is recommended that these values are left at their default setting, as allowing too many connections will severely hinder web browsing and other online activities, as well as possibly crashing your router. Increase this value at your own risk!

1. Does increasing effect computer CPU or RAM, etc.. in any way?
2. If you have over 50+ or 100+ torrents, should your GMC be more then the preset defaults?

Thanks!
