Description:
an install of MySQL within SP2 Beta1 results in a small wait when connecting to the database.

A 'status' query makes me think win9x binaries are installed, possibly because mysqld-nt.exe doesn't recognize SP2's version number:

mysql  Ver 12.22 Distrib 4.0.17, for Win95/Win98 (i32)

How to repeat:
mysqld-nt.exe -install
net start mysql
mysql
status

The Win95/Win98 (i32) is showed no because the client isn't able for
to get what OS it is running, this happens because the client isn't
compiled with the flag __NT__:

config-win.h

#if defined(__NT__)
#define SYSTEM_TYPE	"NT"
#elif defined(__WIN2000__)
#define SYSTEM_TYPE	"WIN2000"
#else
#define SYSTEM_TYPE	"Win95/Win98"
#endif

A wait on connect happens usually because a DNS lookup takes places.
You can test by starting mysqld with --skip-name-resolve and connecting to MySQL by using ip number.
