Description:
The "Sending data" state could probably be expanded a bit, as it tends to be the state that most queries spend a large proportion of their time in.

In particular:
- This state also includes reading rows from the table, not just processing them (Bug #57544)
- Perhaps a mention of it often being the longest-running state, because it involves I/O?

How to repeat:
-

Suggested fix:
