Well, your next step should be compare the two wireshark captures and
see what's being done differently in the two cases.
You can run the JDBC driver with loglevel=2 and it'll tell you what it
is doing, too. But really, if what you care about is what's on the
network, then wireshark is the right tool for that job.

I would be suspicious of your Python measurements, FWIW. 29kB for 7k
rows implies you're only receiving ~4 bytes per row, which seems far
too low.
