Interesting idea. So use the number of db threads to somewhat limit
max number of server threads used for accounting?

In our implementation we ended up going with decoupled accounting
instead, which pretty much serialize accounting load to db to the
number of detail file and reader.

Is this code new?

I haven't seen that effect back on our old setup (the days of
FR-2.1.7). But then again there might be other factors causing it.
