pconnect is better to use IMHO on any site with a decent amount of hits as
youll get better performance due to the lack of the overhead of making a new
connection every time a page is called. I would totally disagree with you
here plutarck pconnect is there to make things quicker which it does by
keeping the connection open between page requests.

Never looked into it really.. probably not worth it.. try asking on the
php-db list.
