Storing this setting in View Properties would solve this, and also allow different lighting in different individual viewports in Screens with multiple 3D View windows open, the way different lens lengths can be set now. Failing this, storing this setting in Screens, so the default .blend's Sculpting Screen can have a different viewport lighting setup than the Modeling Screen would work.

The user could add his own view mode to the current ones (bounds, wire, solid, textured), with custom view settings like OpenGL lights, clipping, texture shading (GLSL / multi / texture face), show wire etc. If these were edited in the 3d View Properties panel, they would be saved to the current mode's settings.

Firstly, Move viewport lighting to "Themes", because it does not have anything to do with performance.
When modeling and animating, you can use the same lighting - solid, default.
When sculpting, it's best to use a matcap, not solid with different lights.
My solution: Get matcaps merged from the Sculpt branch. Add a few default matcaps to choose from.

Every sculpting software uses matcaps: Zbrush, mudbox, sculptris, 3D coat....

That's how matcaps look like in REAL TIME:

Theorically they should be quicker then Solid openGL lights if implemented right.
