Than there is maybe a bug in my code that some connections are not closed.
But I don't understand minsize and maxsize.
I thougt maxsize is the number simultaneous connection i can use.
(When i want to use more than maxsize connection simultaneous i will get the
blocking error)
And minsize is the number of connections that will remain open, even if i
don't use minsize connections, is that right ?
So why is FreeSize = 5 at startup with maxsize = 20 and minsize = 5,
I would say it must be 20, because there are 20 connection i can take
simultanous.
