xenForo Debug: External MySQL connection treated differently

[Marcus]

When I use an external MySQL connection, the whole page generation time stays around the same, while the percentage of the MySQL connection increases:

config.php with local database connection:
1,0 seconds page generation with 0,1 seconds MySQL generation [10%]

config.php with external database connection:
1,0 seconds page generation with 0,3 seconds MySQL generation [30%]

Do you notice the same?

That seems normal if the external connection isn't over a local network, the difference would be down to the added latency in initializing the MySQL connection.

The thing is that the whole page generation time stays the same.
