Connection Pool in SQLserver 2005

What is the performance cost of not using connection pool when connecting to
a sqlserver 2005 using windows identity.
We are planning an application where the users windows identity is forwarded
through all layers all the way into the sqlserver.
This gives security and auditing advantages.
But a pros/cons evaluation is always proper to do.
The cons include: the sqlserver connection pool cannot be used...(?) If
there is more problems, pls let me know.
This rises the question: what is the price for not using connection pools.
Who is paying: the sqlserver or the business layer on the IIS server or both
?

Jens ChrIf the users are constantly in/out of the server, you can still benefit from
using connection pooling. It's just that each user will have their own
connection pool. (Set the max connections in the pool to 2, and set the pool
timeout up to 10-20 minutes -or longer.)
Of course, this will require a bit more memory on the IIS box, and a bit
more on the SQL Server, but will greatly improve responsiveness.
