The issue with the
/tmp/mysql.sock is that MySQL uses domain sockets for *NIX machines and
named pipes on Windows machines. Specifying the IP address uses TCP/IP
sockets, which work as expected.
It would be interesting to see if the cygwin libmysql could be fooled
into using named pipes when connecting to the native mysqld. I guess
that could give some speedup, at least a big difference can be seen on
*NIX when using domain sockets instead of TCP/IP.
I'm just thinking loud here. :)
When compiling libmysql under cygwin it should be possible to also the
compile in the named pipe support.
