It is usual - but the application side pooling doesn't solve well
overloading. The behaviour of the database is not linear. Usually opened
connections are not active. But any non active connection can be changed to
an active connection (there is not any limit for active connections), and
then the performance can be very very slow. Good pooling and good setting
of max_connections is protection against overloading. max_connection should
be 10-20 x CPU cores (for OLTP)
