2nd and 3rd the emotion.

of course, a pooler only works right if the client applications are
modified to open a connection, do a transaction, and close the
connection. if the clients continue to hold idle connections, the
pooler won't do anything useful for you.

typically a database server get the best overall throughput if you limit
the number of concurrent queries to maybe 2-4 times the CPU core count,
give or take how fast your storage IO is and how many pending IO
operations can be in the pipe.
