I'm sorry, but I'm confused. Everyone keeps talking about connection
pooling, but Dimitri has said repeatedly that each client makes a
single connection and then keeps it open until the end of the test,
not that it makes a single connection per SQL query. Connection
startup costs shouldn't be an issue. Am I missing something here?
test(N) starts N clients, each client creates a single connection and
hammers the server for a while on that connection. test(N) is run for
N=1,2,4,8...256. This seems like a very reasonable test scenario.
