I'm sure pgbouncer has some threshold where it breaks down, but we have servers (postgres 8.4 and 9.1) with connections
fromruntime (fed via haproxy) to pgbouncer that routinely have tens of thousands of connections in but only 40-70
postgresconnections to the postgres cluster itself. Mix of queries but most are simple. Typically a few thousand
queriesa second to the readonly boxes, about the same to a beefier read / write master.
This is a slightly old pgbouncer at that ... used is a fairly basic mode.
