Note that it's not always true - current recommended practice for PHP is
to run it in FastCGI, in which case even though there are hundreds of
Apache processes, there are only few PHP processes with their persistent
database connections (and unused PHP FastCGI servers get killed off
routinely) so you get almost "proper" pooling without the overhead.
