Re: re : PHP and persistent connections

I tried doing this, with the max set to 1, 2, and 3; but the number
of backends continues to grow until smacking into the ceiling.
What is controlled by max_persistent? It seems like PHP is just
ignoring this value. I apologize for bringing PHP onto this list, but
it is relevant.

Should not the backends die at *some* point?

Using regular connections almost triples the script's execution time.
(It is still under .5 seconds, but...)

It seems like the number of Apache processes would have to be *really*
low or the number of backends would have to be *really* high.

Our backend limit is still the default 32.

I thank you.
