have you tried some queries NOT using SQL yoga?

I thought most timing stuff was on the server side…

regarding a reliable 'ping':
I know there are non-storage mySQL commands like time and calculations that
would be very small blips… I assume you've tried those.

it's been a while since I did much mySQL work.. and I used Trevor's earlier
'abstraction layer' libraries that I needed to hack for my own purposes.
