What are the reasons when I am connecting to the MySQL server in my laptop(development machine) using MySQL Administrator it is too slow, but when I am connecting to the MySQL server in the prouction machine it is faster. Does setting on the logs have a noticeable performance drop? I have no problems before with slow connections with my laptop.

  • A lot of companies put extra AV/firewall protection on laptops that they don't on desktops. That may be slowing you down.
  • Hard drive encryption is often found on corporate laptops which slows things down
  • Your laptop may have less memory than your desktop
  • Your laptop may have slower memory than your desktop
  • Your laptop may have a slower CPU than your desktop
  • Your laptop probably has less hard drive space than your desktop
  • Your laptop probably has a slower hard drive than your laptop
  • Your laptop's hard drive may be badly fragmented
  • You may have more programs running on your laptop than your desktop

The only thing you missed: Many laptop HD's run at abysmal speeds like 4200rpm or 5600rpm. This will devastate DB performance.

Are you using FireFox? You may want to try editing the network.dns.disableIPv6 setting.

Type about:config in the address bar and filter for network.dns.disableIPv6 and double-click to set to true.
