Why persistent connection ?

Hello php'ers ! I hope I don't get shot for this but here it goes.. What's the advantage/utility/reason to use persistent connections instead of simple connections (in particular PG connections). I have a form with options created dinamycally from a db (via php script). The data entered on this form is inserted on this db by the same php script. Should I use pg_pconnect ?
