The issue is that if all helpers are currently in use then new connections
will have to wait. You see this by having a high request count on all the
helpers.

From your description it does not sound like this is an issue for you. If you
see that the last helper is barely used at all then you have a sufficient
amount of helpers.

Not that I know of.
