Yeah, I know.  Ryan asked about pooling, so I was explaining the
impetus and the how, with no regard to the "should I/shouldn't I". 
Oversight on my part.

I whole-heartedly agree.  I mentioned that pooling should be reserved
only for load testing confirmed bottlenecks in my first email, and
should have reiterated in my second.

I, for one, have never had a need to implement a CFC pool, and while I
can't say I work on massive apps, they're of decent size with decent
load.  Still way cheaper to tune some SQL, add some caching, or even
buy another box than it would be for the improvements pooling would
bring.  At least with the architecture we're currently using.
