OK, and BTW - I wouldn't recommend using mysql_pconnect() unless you are
doing dozens of connections per second. Otherwise using it keeps a lot
of unused resources allocated all the time.

I have yet to see a website using MySQL where mysql_pconnect() is
worthwhile. I'm sure they exist - but I haven't run into anything
nearly that heavy usage.
