Some see a 30 year old system and think "outdated", I see a 30 year old system and think "time tested."

Clearly a process per connection is more stable and that's what I'm using.

It's unclear what problem such optimizations are solving anyway, with the old way you could only support a million concurrent users with a single server? Are we missing out on supporting ten million concurrent users with 2 servers instead of 10? Ostensibly reducing the minimum db hardware opex for a 10B$ company from 10k$/month to 2k$/month?
