I have had a request come through to increase the pool size in IIS which I assume to be the application pool size.

I have attempted to search for more information regarding what the pool size is, what it does, its importance as well as caveats in increasing its size.

Am unsure where to find it in IIS 7 and 7.5 as well as what the default size is.

Does changing the pool size also affect web gardens?
