I was wondering if there is any way to get the Pound 2.5 behaviour for threads 
in Pound 2.6+.

We have a somewhat atypical setup involving Pound where the old behaviour was 
strongly preferable. Basically, we handle large volumes of long lived 
connections (think Websockets). With Pound 2.5, we had no trouble supporting 
over 10,000 concurrent connections, whereas using the default Pound 2.6 setup 
things fell over around 110.

Now, I can bump up the Threads value to 10,000 or 20,000 (or some other 
equally large number), and this works, but this means that Pound always has 
10,000 or 20,000 threads running, which isn't very nice to the system. I 
should point out that we don't normally have 20,000 concurrent connections, 
this is an unusual event, but we do need to support it.

So, is there any way to get back the old threading behaviour, or do we just 
have to tough it out and always run a huge number of Pound threads?
