The try-finally needs to be after the acquire. Doing the acquire inside 
the try block means it will incorrectly release a permit if interrupted 
while waiting in acquire. As regards whether it is optimal then it's at 
the same level of granularity as what you had when doing it in the 
fork.  Limiting the concurrency at a finer grain, e.g. number of 
database connections in use, may be more optimal but it's may not be 
practical to do.
