Why do you have so many threads?

That's what I want to implement ;-)

If you can tell me what to write, I can write it :-)

I'm currently looking at how the other DA's do this, the only idea that's popped
into my head so far is a module-level variable storing the connection pool.
ZOracleDA threads can then retrieve a connection from this pool is a section of
code protected by a python Lock and put it back when they're done.
If there are no connections available, then a new one would be opened, up to a
maximum equal to the number of Zope threads.
What problems/weaknesses can people see with this approach?
cheers,
Chris
