We need:

- windows version
- Whether IPv6 is enabled or not

Please try using simple socket as well, or using 
fopen('http://localhost/foo.php'); while
being sure that localhost is
actually 
IPv6 or Ipv4, to compare both. That will let us diagnose the issue
without 
having to rely on mysql.

If there is anything, its not MySQL specific. mysqlnd is using PHP
Streams. PHP Streams should be the source. Only other cause I can think
of is MySQL server.

Description:
------------
I'm told that a number of people have been reporting this issue.  The
reports I'm hearing state that people are finding it to be about 3-4
times slower when done by hostname.

My guess would be this is another IPv6-related issue.  It's also worth
noting that I have not yet been able to independently verify these
numbers, though I am working on doing so and will post the data if/when
I have it.

It was requested that I post this bug so that we have a record of it. 
If you've experienced any hostname vs. IP performance issues (good or
bad), please post a comment here so we have the reports in one central
place.  Thanks!

Test script:
---------------
<?php

if ( !isset( $_GET["host"] ) )
{
	die( "You must specify ?host= in the URL string.  Example: 
mysql_connect_test.php?host=localhost" );
}

$start = microtime( TRUE );

$link = mysql_connect( $_GET["host"], "root", "(your-password-here)" )
or die( "Function mysql_connect() failed." );

$end = microtime( TRUE );
$duration = $end - $start;
print "<b>Execution Time:</b>&nbsp; $duration sec<br />\r\n";
