Malko korekcii:
1. mysql_connect i myxql_pconnect na praktika ne davat nikava razlika v skorostta.
MySQL ima nai-burzia connect ot vsichki DB - ne znam zashto
2. mysql_pconnect pochti vinagi otvaria nova vruzka - prichinite sa dosta
3. pconnect (ne samo ot php) vodi do:
Aborted connection .... (Got an error reading communication packets)
v mysql.err log. Ne e neshto osobeno ama e nepriatno.

Goliama razlika m-u connect i pconnect ima v izpolzvaneto na LOCK TABLES i CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE ....;
