Vista - Stateful Indigo services

I want to develop an Indigo service (using February 06 CTP) with some
contract to store info in SQL Server 2005.
This contract is used by clients quite frequently (average more than once
per second) and I would like to not re-open a database connection every time
the contract is used.
How to handle this ?
Instance lifetime control (how ?) or some kind of state object ? (WebService
had application state, Indigo has something similar ?)

Thanks, I will try and observe performance, probably no problem.
However, I had parts of this service working ok with December CTP, now I
just upgraded to February CTP and I get a parser error saying
"The unknown directive 'Service' is specified" (in the .svc file)
Someone knows why ?
My svc file looks somewhat like: <%@Service language=c# Debug="true"
class="SomeNamespace.SomeClassname" %>
