I had got the same problem using '-r epoll' options when starting the app via twistd... When 1024 descriptors are opened, I can see 100% CPU. 

Any ideas?

1. Edit /etc/sysctl.conf and place the following line there:

       fs.file-max = 999999

2. Type $ sudo sysctl -p

3. Place the following two lines:

*       soft    nofile      999999

*       hard    nofile      999999

Either reboot, or also type in `ulimit -n 999999`

4. Check that $ ulimit -a shows your open fixes set to 999999

There's nothing special about 999999 - it's just some big number conveniently bigger than 1024. Enjoy.
