[feat] Make it optional to have a dedicated pool

As @meskio pointed out, some cases could need a dedicated pool with
different parameters.
This is a suggested implementation where the pool is reused by default,
creating a dedicated one just if needed/asked. This way we ensure that
resources are under control and special cases are still handled.
