This gives the impression that performance is great at 100 and falls off
a cliff at 101, which is both incorrect and likely to lower peoples'
opinion of the software.  I'd suggest wording more like "if you're
considering raising max_connections into the thousands, you should
probably use a connection pool instead".  And I agree with Merlin that a
wiki pointer is inappropriate.
