I executed the following query both in phpMyAdmin & MySQLdb (python).

SELECT *, (SELECT CONCAT(`id`, '|', `name`, '|', `image_code`)
FROM `model_artist` WHERE `id` = `artist_id`) as artist_data, 
FIND_IN_SET("metallica", `searchable_words`) as find_0
FROM `model_song` HAVING find_0

phpMyAdmin said the query took 2ms.
My python code said that using MySQLdb the query took 848ms (without even fetching the results).

The python code:

self.db = MySQLdb.connect(host="localhost", user="root", passwd="", db="ibeat")
self.cur = self.db.cursor()

millis = lambda: time.time() * 1000

start_time = millis()
self.cur.execute_cmd("""SELECT *, (SELECT CONCAT(`id`, '|', `name`, '|', `image_code`)
FROM `model_artist` WHERE `id` = `artist_id`) as artist_data, 
FIND_IN_SET("metallica", `searchable_words`) as find_0
FROM `model_song` HAVING find_0""")
print millis() - start_time

    PHPMyAdmin places a limit on all queries so you don’t return large result sets in the interface. So if your query normally returns 1,000,000 rows, and PHPMyAdmin reduces that to 1,000 (or whatever the default is), then you would have to expect a lot longer processing time when Python grabs or even queries the entire result set.

    Try placing a limit in Python that matches the limit on PHPMyAdmin to compare times.
