Least outstanding connections load balancing can improve the load distribution between instances but for Pgcat it may also improve handling slow replicas that don't go completely down. With LoC, traffic will quickly move away from the slow replica without waiting for the replica to be banned.
If all replicas slow down equally (due to a bad query that is hitting all replicas), the algorithm will degenerate to Random Load Balancing (which is what we had in Pgcat until today).
This may also allow Pgcat to accommodate pools with differently-sized replicas.
