Database Completion Time
Local Access DB 50 seconds
MySQL Local 15 seconds (I no longer keep it local, only for testing)
MySQL 1 hop away 7 minutes
Thsi is an identical query right ? I suggest you turn on the slow
query log and see if it is the actual query taking the time, or if its
the creation of the connection itself which is causing the problem.
By local I assume you mean logging onto the machine 1 hop away and running
a local copy of the command line app there ?
Without more info then its hard to suggets anything but query times should be
identical, no matter what the connection method.
