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";

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.

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.

I'm sorry guys, I realize this report is very scant on details.  Please keep in mind I'm reporting it on someone else's behalf at their request.  I posted all the details I've been given and have requested further information, which I will post here as soon as I get it.

I possibly should've waited, but I'd already promised to have it posted by EOD today.

I'd be happy to take a look over the weekend.  I'll run the test script and post the results when I get a spare moment.
