that is about 2300 processes being task scheduled by your kernel, each of them using > 1 MB of RAM and some other ressources, are you sure that this is what you want? Usual recommended design for a web application: start request, rent a connection from connection pool, do query, put connection back, finish request, wait for next request so to get 500 connections in parallel, you would have the outside situaion of 500 browsers submitting requests within the time needed to fullfill one request.
