I'm implementing an application that will have a lot of clients querying lots of small data packages from my webserver. Now I'm unsure whether to use persistent data connections to the database or not. The database is currently on the same system as the webserver and could connect via the socket, but this may change in the near future.As I know a few releases of PHP ago mysqli_pconnect was removed because it behaved suboptimally. In the meantime it seems to be back again.Based on my scenario I suppose I won't have an other chance to handle thousands of queries per minute but with loads of persistent connections and a MySQL configuration that reserves only little resources per connection, right?Thanks for your input!
