No. The count refers to the number of active threads.  There
can be 0 or more active threads per LDAP session.

No.  The counter is increased as input and operations threads
are created and deleted.   You may have many concurrent sessions
and no active threads.  You may have one session and many active
operation threads.

Yes.  slapd can only accept connections while there are available
file descriptors.

For each concurrently executing operation there is one active
thread.

Yes, thread pools are on the TODO list...  Developers are
encouraged to jump on in (please coordinate on the -devel
mailing list).
