So do I. In fact, even on production web servers I usually use
connection pooling and can rarely get an app to approach saturating a
pool size of around 20 let alone 100. But then you and I know something
about tuning Postgres. What I am aiming for is something that is closer
to the norm on out of the box configuration.

Just because we can run with very little memory doesn't mean we have to.
What is the point of having lots of memory if you don't use it? We are
talking defaults here. initdb will still scale down on resource-starved
machines.
