-memcached_pool_create() is used to create a connection pool of objects you

-initialised \ ``memcached_st``\ structure, and a successfull invocation of
-memcached_pool_create takes full ownership of the variable (until it
-is released by memcached_pool_destroy). The \ ``initial``\ argument
-specifies the initial size of the connection pool, and the \ ``max``\
-argument specifies the maximum size the connection pool should grow

-scaled to the max size of the connection pool, so you should not pass
-MAXINT or some other large number here.

-memcached_pool_destroy() is used to destroy the connection pool
