It would take a bit more work than that, because the code still tries to limit the client count based on FD_SETSIZE. He'd need to hack it so that in non-thread mode, the limit is FD_SETSIZE per subprocess. I was suggesting that an official patch to that effect would be a good thing. > It's kind of futile to run pgbench simulating much more than a hundred > or two clients before 9.0 anyway.
