The "filedescriptors" report will tell you exactly what they are used
for (or last used for if idle).

"One per file, helper, client connection, server connection" is the
brief overview.

It's all relative to client traffic type, amount and particular
responses coming back, AND any load balancing being done. So the details
will be specific to each of those proxies.
