Well, yes, but I assume one per client. So if I'd set the timeout to be 
x hours then it might just be quite easy to pile up a few hundred of 
unused connections. And that even with only a few concurrent connections 
at a time. Playing devil's advocate here.

I think that this might be less an issue when setting the timeout 
reasonably, such as 30 minutes. Much better to reconnect once every half 
hour (if that) then for every script call. Is that how it works?
