Thanks Ken. I am going to test with different pool sizes and see if I see any improvements.
Are there other configuration options I should look like? I was thinking of playing with shared_buffer.
Thanks,
Anne

Hi Anne,
You want to be able to run as many jobs productively at once as your hardware is capable of supporting. Usually
somethingstarting a 2 x number of CPUs is best.
If you make several runs increasing the size of the pool each time, you will see a maximum throughput somewhere near
thereand then the performance will decrease as you add more and more connections. You can then use that sweet spot.
Your test harness should make that pretty easy to find.
Regards,
Ken
