## SLOW REMOTE CONNECTION
## If you are connecting to a remote database that is intolerably slow, try
## updating the mysql configuration file (often "/etc/my.cfg") by adding the
## following option to the [mysqld] section:
##
## skip-name-resolve
##
## Here is the MySQL documentation for this option:
##
## --skip-name-resolve
## Do not resolve host names when checking client connections. Use only IP addresses.
## If you use this option, all Host column values in the grant tables must be IP addresses or localhost.
