Comment (by awoods):

 I think this is a good idea. There are some hosts, where it might not have
 much of an impact. But other hosts it will have a great positive impact on
 performance. It doesn't seem like a big deal until you need it and you
 can't use it. I like the idea of using by setting a constant in their wp-
 config.php to enable persistent connections. It's a great way to empower
 developers without them having to hack core.

 We should ensure that a check for the mysql driver case is also covered --
 for older hosts that might not be using mysqli. which is just an
 additional couple of lines of code.
