mysql_store_result speed

[geanni geanni]

Hi,
I'm new on using the mysql connector. I have an inssue related to mysql_store_result when running a query to a remote server. On local it is very fast but when a run on a remote server it is almost 5 times slow. From what I see after executing mysql_query("select * from table") there is not need for internet connection so this function is executed on local data.
Note: I use the same table with same data both local and remote. Should I set some properties/flags in order to have this function running the same time both local and remote?

Thanks,
Geanni
