Not true. Personally, I was looking for something like this, before I
decided to go with stored sql procs instead.

The problem is a website that uses persistent connections.

Say we have a query that takes 350ms to get threads in a forum, and half
of that is planning time. Any particular PHP process does not know if a
previous process has already prepared that query or not. So I have to
prepare it every time, deal with errors, etc.

However, I now use sql stored procs as basically 'cached prepared
queries', so it's no longer a problem for me.
