man inetd:

[ ... ]

     -R rate
             Specifies the maximum number of times a service can be invoked in
             one minute; the default is 1000.

Crank this number way up when you start the thing.  I typically had to
make it very high for a FreeBSD box acting as a boot and font server
for a bunch of X terminals.
