Mike,
Excuse me if I'm wrong, but isn't using persistent connections more
server resource intensive? I'm trying to optimize the database on
a heavy site, and I decided not to use persistent connections.

Steve,
I also experienced the same results you did until I realized that
the MS-SQL connection was using pooled connections and my
use of MySQL wasn't. After I started using persistent connections
to MySQL, it was much faster than MS-SQL on identical hardware
and no tuning on either system.
Also if you are looking for a performance improvement, drop ODBC
and try the native API; it's much faster.
Mike
