Jonathan,
While that might be true for other databases, it's not true for MySQL
(connections are a few ms. to create).
The real reason to use connection pooling is as a resource limiter so
that you do not waste MySQL server-side resources for threads that are
effectively doing nothing.
Haitao's issue might be due to some locking in the database server, thus
effectively serializing his four connections, or he might not be
actually producing enough load to actually be able to measure any
difference between his two approaches. If he could post his DDL, the
relative size(s) of his data set(s) and the queries, that would be
somewhere to start.
