I'm afraid I still don't get it. Let say I have an application that
does `CREATE TEMP TABLE xx ; DROP TABLE xx` in every session all the
time. Naturally there is not only one temp table per session. Could you
explain please in more detail how exactly do these persistent rows help?


when you use global temporary tables, then you create it only once - like usual tables.

you don't drop these tables.
