The optimized version of Postgres-R uses pre-forked backends for
handling remote
write sets. It currently uses one user/database, so I'm all for having
a configurable
parameter for starting a pool of backends for each database. We'll have
to make sure
that number * the number of databases is lower than the max number of
backends at
start up.
