I haven't actually looked at their code they used to test with to
see if they are actually using it, but Apache/PHP has the ability to do
persistent db connections. I would be surprised that someone like Tim (
who seems to have done a fair bit of php with db stuff) would not make use
of such a feature.

If you can point out an example of where they are not using this
feature I will gladly stand corrected.
