Please make an option to use persistent connection to redis: https://github.com/phpredis/phpredis#pconnect-popen .
It's much faster then raw "connect" (and sometimes then unix socket!) and the only change to implement is to change "connect" to "pconnect" in your code when connecting to redis instance.
We've done it in our installation when we begin to get too many redis connections. Everything goes fine.
