Hmmm... 200 connections would do it for me but 10-15 is nowhere
near enough. Connection pooling does not fit the security model
I have adopted, indeed one of my applications maintains two
connections per user - so I think I am stuck with Superserver.

Actually it all works very well with the only exception being
when we hit this pausing bug on specific hardware.
