sql server odbc : slow connection

I was testing my C app that uses ODBC to connect to SQL
Server and noticed if I kept the connection open until all
queries are finished, it is 2-3 times faster.

I thought SQL Server has connection pooling that
disconnecting and connecting should not be a problem. Does
connection pooling not work with ODBC? My colleague tested
with a .NET app and it did not have that problem.

Any insight is appreciated.

ODBC does not maintain connection pooling. ASP/ASPX has it's own
connection pooling and so does OLEDB. .NET will use ADO.NET, which I
believe uses the OLEDB driver for connection pooling.

You have to enable ODBC connection pooling (vs. with OLE DB
session pooling it's on by default). Some of it also has to
do with coding techniques.
You can find more info on connection pooling in this article
and the links it has to more information:
