 From my experience if mysql is sufficient you shouldn't rewrite all the 
code

I used mysqli recently because I had to establish SSL connection to the 
external database server (mysql extension cannot do that)
I worked great and I discovered power of OO mysqli
I really liked it and if possible I will use it from now on but I don't 
think you will gain anything by rewriting old code
mysqli is faster (some people claim 30% gain) but is it worth time and 
effort? you have to judge based on your current projects, load on the 
server etc - but maybe it will be cheaper and easier to buy some extra RAM
