Master-Master Failover Method Very Slow

[Ryan Malencia]

Hello. I recently created a Master-Master setup for my database and encountered no issues. However, the programs I use to interface with the database are written in C#, and to implement failover for the database I used the method described here: https://blogs.oracle.com/MySqlOnWindows/entry/how_to_using_replication_load . The problem is that this has slowed down the database interaction by a huge amount. Is there a reason this method is so slow? And is there a better method instead to implement failover in my C# applications? Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.
