It used to be safe to assume that anyone running mod_perl had a bottleneck on memory and the number of processes they can run. This isn't always true anymore. Some people have plenty of headroom for mod_perl processes but can't allow frequent access to a shared resource like a fragile database. The request pnotes is commonly used to pass information between handlers in different phases. I haven't seen much use of the connection pnotes. - Perrin
