A couple of hundred connections is already a lot as a point of
contention is snapshot build, which is particularly painful for OLTP
workloads. If you reach a point where you need hundreds of connections,
I would recommend using pgbouncer. This will save your server much CPU
by minimizing the effects of connections still around but idle.
