While attempting to connect to a remote MySQL database using PyCharm's SSH link with a local socks proxy set to port 1080, I observed a peculiar discrepancy between the console's execution time and the actual rendering time. The console displayed an execution time of approximately 0.3 seconds, which included both execution and fetch times. However, upon inspection, the actual rendering took around 1.3 seconds. I tested using the Amazon Aurora MySQL driver, which resulted in a slightly improved performance of around 1.1 seconds. Notably, when using TablePlus, I was able to retrieve the data in a mere 0.3 seconds. I documented this anomaly to potentially shed light on the underlying cause and potential solutions for future reference.
