Yes, I have tried that too, no difference. I've even tried running MySQL
with a database populated with identical data on localhost (even tried
127.0.0.1), but there is no difference in performance. Delays in the connection
to the db server is still around 20-30 seconds.
So, the problem has to be with either the php-mysql module, PHP itself, MySQL or
then it may be hardware related.
