Description:
The 4.1+ versions of the Windows Builds have a SIGNIFICANT performance penalty on dataset result returns for each query.

How to repeat:
Install 4.1 Windows Build of MySQL server.  
Start that 4.1 server.  
Do a SELECT (1+1); from a local MYSQL.EXE command line utility (or MySQLcc).  The time will be low (from 0.04 to 0.00 seconds).

Try the same query, SELECT (1+1) from any other machine (no matter how close on the network) and you will get a response time of 0.13 to 0.26 seconds.

That is a huge delay.

Repeat the queries for an average.

Now, shut down the server, and overwrite the BIN directory with the 4.0 server binaries (EXEs).  

Start the 4.0 server.

Do the same queries, both locally and remotely and notice they always take around 0.04 seconds or less.

Suggested fix:
Look at the differences introduced in Windows build's between 4.0 and 4.1... maybe something is being closed, or rebuilt.

We are aware of this problem with new binary protocol and investigate it. As you mention it happens with  Windows only

Thank you for your time.
