Running PostgreSQL directly via pg_ctl, not as a service, will not
change how it performs under load at all. It will not help you service
more than 500 concurrent connections.

You really need to put a connection pool in place to limit the number of
concurrent workers. Look at PgBouncer or PgPool-II. As far as I know
neither of them runs on Windows; you might want to think about a Linux
box as a front-end.
