+        Soft limit on the number of OS processes usable by Query

+        Idle OS processes are closed until the total reaches the soft

+
+        For example, if the hard limit is 200 and the soft limit is
+        100, the total number of OS processes will never exceed 200,
+        and CouchDB will close all idle OS processes until it reaches
+        100, at which point it will leave the rest intact, even if
+        some are idle.
