Of course, if that _is_ true, then PHP is all but useless as a layer
between PostgreSQL and the Web, since the latency in starting a
pg_Connect is truly horrible.
I haven't found that to be the case at all. I started out with pg_pconnect() just assuming that I needed to save the overhead, but we noticed no perceptible-to-the-user difference after we switched to plain pg_connect(). In case it matters, apache and pgsql are on the same box in our case, so the connection is via unix-domain sockets rather than tcp/ip.
