I personally never mix connection types as I always use
pg_pconnect() for every connection call. I consistently get one
PostgreSQL process for each Apache process.

Your code opens up a new PostgreSQL connection for each function
call, except for create_sub_table(). As a result, you can have
many idle database processes for each httpd process. You can
count on each non-pg_pconnect() connection to linger for a
minute or so and that will eat all your system resources with
only a few simultaneous users.
