 Why not optionally allow persistent MySQL connections? Sometimes they can
 really help taking weight off the MySQL server.

 in wp-config.php, add an option like:
 {{{
 define('DB_PERSISTENT', 'true');
 }}}

 in wp-includes/wp-db.php change around line 49:


 {{{
 $this->dbh = (DB_PERSISTENT == 'true')
         ? @mysql_pconnect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpassword)
         : @mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpassword);

 }}}


 I don't know what effect this would on other servers/environments, but on
 an Apache with mod_php, it works very fine.
