connection pooling

[Tom Scavo]

This is FYI. For comparison, can you tell me what the IdP uses for
connection pooling?

Recently we had some issues with the InCommon Certificate Manager,
hosted by Comodo. As it turns out, the Certificate Manager experienced
a fairly serious outage due to increased workload that created an
unserviceable workload for the database connection pool library c3p0
[1]. Consequently, the C3p0 libraries were swapped out with another
library, dbcp [2]. As a result, availability was restored and overall
performance is measurably better.
