Our site has been slowing down dramatically in the last few days, so I've been trying to figure out why. I ran some profiling scripts on our site and saw that we're spending between 3-9 seconds on mysql_connect. Then I connected to our db and saw that there were over 100 connections at the time, most of them sleeping. Is this because we don't close mysql connections until the end of script execution? How do people generally structure their code to minimize the time they keep mysql connections open? Currently all db connections go through one file, which gets included at the top of the file. One other question, is it better to open one connection, then re-use it later, or just continually open and close per db call?
