36964	Clarify how persistent connections interact with runserver	Adam Sołtysik	Youssef Tarek Ali	"From https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.2/ref/databases/#caveats:

> The development server creates a new thread for each request it handles, negating the effect of persistent connections. Don’t enable them during development.

Something here seems to be incorrect. I'm using `'CONN_MAX_AGE': None` with the development server, and it works as expected. My requests are significantly faster than with the default setting. When analyzing with `SELECT * FROM pg_stat_activity WHERE datname = '<dbname>'`, I can see a single connection created and persisting after the first request, and it disappears after autoreload."
