Not so. Workers are separate Linux processes. Look at os.fork() in
run_sever(). Perhaps you're looking for the 'max_client' option,
which restricts the green pool passed to eventlet in each of the workers.

The requests each gets a green thread inside the eventlet, by way
of monkey-patching of some syscalls.

Anyhow, please be more specific about the numbers you see on your
proxies, e.g. how many IOPS, GHz, workers, and so on. Otherwise
it's poinless to speculate about your bottleneck case and its causes.
