ASO MySQL is on localhost, but I'm not sure that there isn't some networking technogeekery going on there as it's very similar to another setup I used to use where it only appeared to be local. Anyhow, at work (a small university), we've got Django running with mod_python and a separate MySQL server that hosts several other DBs and it's lightning fast. Of course, our system techs here are outstanding and tweak things that I don't know a thing about.
