Well... it depends... this means you can handle only 50 "hits" at a time (50
connections to fb at a time) ... so it really depends upon the number of
simultaneos hits, time taken to handle each database task, if you use some
kind of connection pool or not, etc.

per_source, AFAIK, is sopposed to limit the number of connections made to
the (FB) process from the same 'client'... as a Web app -- IF the db server
is at the same box as the WebServer -- I suppose this do not play a role.
