I can't see, how to add this capability to the source URL.
Impressive numbers. AFAIK there is somewhere in the dbXML/Xindice repositories some skeletal code for "collection pooling". This can be a good start, if this approach works (and I don't see why it shouldn't), then it would be trivial to patch XMLDBSourceImpl or (better yet, thanks Avalon :)) write another implementation which is "collection pool" oriented: this might boost the Xindice performance and it would be feasible even with a Source since it's all about Source internals. Hmm... I'll think about it.
