I've hit the DB performance bottleneck, where now?

Question

I understand I'm now getting away from what the question was intended for so maybe I should make another one. My problem is that EXPLAIN is saying the query takes 10ms rather than 300ms which jprofiler is reporting.

Then your problem (and solution) must be in java, right?
