We've got this weird LPAR thing at our hosting center. it's tough
for me to do.

- Where did you get that number? We routinely route hundreds of
- requests per second (many of them with 10 or 20 joins) from five or
- ten thousand connected users through a pool of 30 connections. It

That's encouraging. I don't remember where I got the number from,
but my pooler will be Geronimo, so i think it came in that context.

- Once you have enough active connections to saturate the resources,
- adding more connections just adds contention for resources and
- context switching cost -- it does nothing to help you service more
- concurrent users. The key is, as I mentioned before, to have the
- pooler queue requests above the limit and promptly get them running
- as slots are freed.
Right, I understand that. My assertian/hope is that the saturation point
on this machine should be higher than most.
