All of our connections are through localhost. So what I get from this is
that all internal traffic on the localhost will not get counted, but the
final results that are sent through PHP and TCP sockets will get counted.
If this difference between unix domain sockets is huge compared to TCP
sockets, would that mean that the database queries are inefficient?
