ODBC Driver 8.0 slower than 5.3

[Roberto Oliè]

Hello, I have a problem with the ODBC Drivers, I think. I've done tests with Windows Server 2019, Windows Server 2022 and Windows 10, and the problem is always the same.
I have installed IIS 10, MySQL Server 8.0 and I use classic ASP pages that connect to the db via ADODB connection and ODBC driver.
Well the connection via MySQL ODBC 8.0 ANSI Driver is much SLOWER than the MySQL ODBC 5.3 ANSI Driver!!! We're talking about 8/9 times slower!
I also created a special script that runs a series of very simple read-only queries. The execution time with the 5.3 driver is much faster than the 8.0 driver.
And it's not a problem with the connection to the database, I've verified, but rather with the procession of the queries.
I would like to solve this problem because I don't feel like using an old driver and also because even the speed of the 5.3 driver doesn't fully satisfy me, I hope there is a configuration or setting problem that can be resolved.
Thank you.
