C.R., ThreadTimeout of 60 is very low, but for you irrelevent because
you have max and min threads set the same.
Presumably a connection thread ends up spending a large fraction of
its time feeding content back to a slow modem user over TCP/IP, and
the thread is not holding a database handle during that time
(well, as long as you haven't botched your Tcl programming it's not).
So it seems reasonable that most people use a number of threads
substantially larger than their number of db handles.
I suspect an Oracle connection is also pretty heavyweight, so you are
probably sucking up lots of RAM for no good reason in database
connections which you never use. Hopefully it will all just be
swapped out most of the time, of course.
But all that is just my supposition. Some kind of nice Linux,
AOLserver, Oracle, PostgreSQL, and OpenACS performance test suite, and
good repeatable results from it, would be nice to have. :)
