Remember Metcalfe's law? The value of the booth grows with the square
of the number of connections. So if you have twice the number of people
showing Postgres off to twice the number of visitors, you quadruple the
overall booth value, while having two booths would only duplicate it.
Not sure if the application of the law is correct but it sounds cool
anyway ...
