Increasing the max setting does not consume additional resources. It merely makes it possible for applications to get the resources they ask for.
For example, just this morning Chromium started failing because I hand't disabled limits on one of my machines. I pulled down my standard settings, applied them, then the problem went away. It wont' be coming back either.
