 * My host throttles simultaneous database connections by the same database user.
 * Can I set buddypress up so that it uses a database loginname different from the
   one used by WordPress? (it is fine if they use the same database)

 * I see. In that case, can I set up WordPress to use multiple database users?

 * Not that I’m aware of. Even if it was possible with WP, it is unlikely that this
   will work at all with BuddyPress.
