20% increase on m1.large from increase in idle connection pool

These were the peak QPS results I got on m1.large just now, from changing the idle connection limit from 100 to 5000 (to match the MySQL connection limit). 

I'm not sure the original motivation to set it so low, however, so perhaps I'm missing something.
