Well, maybe you have 1,000 users and 40 pre-fork jobs.  When one job is busy a request is dispatched to the next. Over time, user requests will be dispatched to all the pre-fork jobs.  1,000 users could lead to 40,000 permanant connections - unless constrained by a DB setting.

That's what I suspect most developers will do.  But then you lose the visibility in journals of which users are performing which database updates.  And I sometimes store Last-Update-User, and show it on screens.  A feature like that would take a hit.
