My analogy was - to put these 100 people to 8 elevators instead of one, especially in case when one elevator can carry only 13 people. But if you tell me that the risk of dealing with 500 million files in 1 pool is the same as with 500 million files in 8 pools, I agree that my analogy is not relevant.
