Re: No caching - or brutal performance - for repeat queries 4.1.8nt

[Peter Zaitsev]

This is actually pretty interesting - you're saying php.exe is consuming CPU time,
not MySQL server. The code executed on client size is not different if query cache is enabled or not.

James gives you good advice - try to isolate the problem created minimum repeatable example. Does PHP which does simple connect/disconnect shows
such problem ? Or does connection is fast but select version() is taking a lot of time ?

Having such information would make it much easier to troubleshoot the issue.
