This is as good an occasion as any to mention that these parameters are
poorly named; thread_pool_{min,max} are the minimum and maximum *total*
number of threads, while thread_pools is the number of pools.  The
actual minimum and maximum number of threads *per pool* is
thread_pool_{min,max} / thread_pools.
