Yeah, that's a totally new connection (no pool), time from memory (could be off).

On my home system with a database I happen to be running anyway, I see:

    $ time mysql -u mythtv -h 192.168.0.12 mythconverg \
     -e 'select * from credits where person = 147628 limit 1' > /dev/null

    real    0m0.023s

Server is running a Celeron(R) CPU 1007U @ 1.50GHz, client is Celeron(R) 2955U @ 1.40GHz, networking is 1GBps. I don't have a super easy way to measure just the connect + login time, so this is connect + login + indexed query. The server is lightly loaded, and I warmed up the table, but it's also a laptop chip on a desktop oriented board with a lowend NIC.

my guess is the service http call chain can add up. common call chains are 3+ services
