That doesn't sound reasonable. Does your machine really have so many
processors or i/o bandwidth that 256 postgres processes can really all make
progress?
Or do you have images and static html on the same web server? If so I suggest
moving them to another web server. No need to have a postgres instance (and a
php instance) sitting idle consuming memory waiting until someone happens to
hit a dynamic page.
