Some sort of web query behavior is quite optimized in MySQL. For example,
the query below is runing very fast due to the query result cache
implementation in MySQL.

Loop N times
SELECT * FROM A WHERE i = 1;
End loop.

IMHO, without knowing the exact queries you sent, these logs are not very
useful :-(. I would suggest you compare the queries in pair and then post
their dtrace/timing results here (just like the previous Firebird vs.
PostgreSQL comparison did).
