Perhaps Jan can send you his code cut as well, to test against SDE.
WRT PostGIS and persistent connections, the one-time connection overhead 
is so low (relative to total map processing time) that maintaining a 
persistent connection is not worth it. The per-session pool should be 
quite sufficient to make complex PostGIS-backed maps perform well.
