[mod_python] Persist database conn, or pers. variables - where I put them ?

Start with "if it's not a problem, it's not a problem".

I benchmarked MySQL with mod_python years ago. There was no noticable performance benefit whatsoever 
between re-using one connection for all DB traffic, multiple global connections in a pool, versus 
opening and closing a DB connection on every request.

With connection pooling comes the risk that you keep too many connections open for too long. If you 
serve both static and dynamic content, a pre-fork apache mpm may have 20 open connections while 
you're using only one...
