This is good to know. We should include this in the documentation somewhere....
Richard, could you write a paragraph for one of the existing handbook pages, or create a new one if necessary?

Interesting... I could see that happening in certain situations. I guess this would depend on the traffic profile you're seeing and your apache configuration.
If your server is dedicated to hosting Drupal and there is only one or two databases in use then persistent connections may be useful.
I have 100 databases on my server and if I enable persistent connections mysql starts throwing "too many connections" errors after about 8 hours of operation.
I profiled performance before disabling pconnect and the peformance hit was about 0.001 seconds per connect. And that's on a 6 year old server... on modern hardware you would hardly notice it.
