well for mysql traditonally persistent connections came with the risk  
of an unclean session. i guess there is now a solution to clean up the  
session fairly well, making persistent connections more feasible,  
especially since more and more people are starting to not necessarily  
have a slave running on the same box as their webserver (where unix  
sockets were so quick to open it didnt really make sense to bother  
with persistent connections).
