Not significantly. And it will permanently allocate resources the
entire time the server is running.

mysql_pconnect() could be advantageous when you're running hundreds of
connections a second (remember - most connections last just a few
milliseconds) and those resources can be reused immediately. But for
any single connection the time required to establish a connection is
fairly short.
