We introduce the velocity Vs of stagnation points as a means to characterize and measure statistical persistence of streamlines. Using theoretical arguments, direct numerical simulations (DNS), and kinematic simulations (KS) of three-dimensional isotropic turbulence for different ratios of inner to outer length scales L/eta of the self-similar range, we show that a frame exists where the average Vs = 0 , that the rms values of acceleration, turbulent fluid velocity, and Vs are related by La'/u'2 approximately (V's/u')(L/eta)(2/3+q) , and that V's/u' approximately (L/eta)q with q = -1/3 in Kolmogorov turbulence, q = -1/6 in current DNS, and q = 0 in our KS. The statistical persistence hypothesis is closely related to the Tennekes sweeping hypothesis.
