Hi,

You truncated times in profiler window. May I ask what time was measured for
socket.read(), and what kind of connection did you used for this (dsl, umts),
connection speed and min/max/avg ping time to database server?

What other operations are performed inside benchamrkQuery(), commit/rollback,
connection open?
Did fetch size wa,s when you was making this test, enaught to get all records
at once?

It is highly probable that something is wrong.
