Description:
When a second network card is added to an NT 4 server, MySQL client connection performance drops drastically. If the second card is disabled (and the server rebooted) the client connection performance returns to normal.

I have attempted to bind the MySQL server to a single card with the --bind-address parameter, but this has no affect on the poor performance.

How to repeat:
Add a second network card to an NT 4 server.

Adding the --skip-name-resolve parameter has solved the problem. Not sure why this should be so, but name reslving isn't required anyways.
