To be honest, I don't see any change in performance one way or another, at
least not with the kinds of requests I was testing it with.

Plus things can only get better once we understand it a bit better.

unlikely). So we have to check every time which of the two APIs we've got to
use. To make this a little easier, I would like to suggest that we raise the
minimum required MySQL version to 4.1.3 (from 4.0.18). Then we can simply
check for existence of the MySQLi class and use that if present or fall back
to the old API otherwise.

(2009-12-31) - and we would only make it the mimimum requirement now. Even
RHEL 4 - one of the Linux distros for which we keep PHP 4 support around in
the 1.7.x branch - shipped with MySQL 4.1.

No objections here.

For me, one thing that MySQLi has going for it is the ability to run stored
routines (procedures and functions). Though those features were not
introduced until MySQL 5.0.2
