That is crazy! It went from like 10.1 seconds to 100 ms response time on the queries. What was that about?  
That sounds like somebody’s querying the hostname from the system and is using it as the default config, and only after time out of 10 seconds, it’s trying localhost.  
Who’s doing that, the manager, right? Isn’t there a config file where we can just put `localhost` and circumvent this whole hostname issue?  
I mean it works, but it’s a workaround at best.
