While the Server object seems undocumented, the beginners tutorial of your documentation (which is great by the way!) mentions that the default pool size is set to 1.

Why is this the case? 1 seems like a very low limit, a quick google made me believe that the default for mongo is to take 80% of ulimit (see https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/SERVER-3116)

Could you clarify this decision?
