I think persistent connections are what we don't want. We're being told we have too many open -- not that we're opening too often. So persistent connections would leave us with more open, since we'd lose the respite when a normal connection is closed at the end of the script.
We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I thought the idea with persistent connections was that we had, say, 50 always open and every task used those 50, instead of opening and closing a connection each time the database is accessed.

I did some more reading, and you're right.
Can you ask your guy if his system is tuned in such a way this would be more efficient for it?

I will pose the question. Hopefully, I'll actually get a response to this question. </pissy bitch>

Oh and also. The replacement server goes online tomorrow night to begin testing. It looks like the move will happen on Thursday but that's not official yet.
Will let you know more as I hear.

While scrolling back to see to whom I'll be sending the ERD (Jess, Liese, expect it later tonight), I saw Typo Boy's assertion that we should have just one connection per page view -- we do -- PHP automatically reuses an open connection to the same database no matter if you try and open it manually.

I'm. . . loading. . .very. . .slowly. Just me? Or the board?

Incredibly slowly here too, though it's better now.

Me too. I'm most often willing to blame it on dial up.
