Hello,
I am no expert but I believe more information is required, like what
would be the average return of a mysql operation ? How many different
DB's are you accessing ? How many different usernames and passwords for
mysql are you using ??
I believe persistent connections are only useful when the amount of DB
connections being made is inversely proportional to the amount of data
being returned.
That is if you have 50 connections being created to check the same one
field in one table. Then persistent connections would be worth it. But
is you are returning 4-5MB of data per-query then persistent connections
would not be worth it.
Plus with persistent connections I have heard most people have issues
with hitting the too many open connections limit. Because the
connections are not being closed or reused.
Michael.
