Hello!

I have more of an architectural question but more in the context of rust. I have been using fred.rs and I noticed that it has pool support which is very different from the redis client prefers to offer multiplexing support. Additionally I have also noticed that other async redis although they are non rust libraries(such as lettuce) also optimize for single requests.

Looking for mostly guidance. When it is recommended to use pools vs single connection for fred.rs(rust)?
