Thank you Tom Kim for leading me to the answer.

There wasn't enough room in comments so I will elaborate with an additional answer on exactly what I did to solve my issue. I do not know why the yum version of phpMyAdmin was causing me distress.

1. backup your config file (if you have made one)
2. remove the yum version(s) of phpMyAdmin (there are 2 different ones)
3. download the latest version of phpMyAdmin from their website
4. unzip it and move it into the normal place
5. replace (or create) the config file
6. add a virtual host entry for it and make sure to restrict access to you ONLY YOUR IP ADDRESS for security purposes
7. restart Apache
8. Have some tequila to celebrate! preferably reposado because it's the best type :) (this part is VERY important)

Here is my answer in bash form:

(I assume you have phpMyAdmin or phpmyadmin already installed and configured... I won't give you a config file, but I'll give you the vhost file, its mostly based on the one from the yum version of phpMyAdmin):

mkdir /tmp/phpMyAdminNew;
cp /usr/share/phpMyAdmin/config.inc.php /tmp/phpMyAdminNew/config.inc.php;
yum remove phpMyAdmin phpmyadmin;
cd /tmp;
wget -O /tmp/phpMyAdminNew/phpMyAdmin-4.1.5-all-languages.zip http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpmyadmin/files/phpMyAdmin/4.1.5/phpMyAdmin-4.1.5-all-languages.zip;
unzip -d /tmp/phpMyAdminNew /tmp/phpMyAdminNew/phpMyAdmin-4.1.5-all-languages.zip;
mv /tmp/phpMyAdminNew/phpMyAdmin-4.1.5-all-languages /usr/share/phpMyAdminNew
cp /tmp/phpMyAdminNew/config.inc.php /usr/share/phpMyAdminNew/config.inc.php
echo -e 'Alias /my_secret_phpmyadmin_portal /usr/share/phpMyAdminNew\n\n<Directory /usr/share/phpMyAdminNew/>\n\t<IfModule mod_authz_core.c>\n\t\t# Apache 2.4\n\t\t<RequireAny>\n\t\t\tRequire ip 127.0.0.1\n\t\t\tRequire ip ::1\n\t\t\t# Require ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx\n\t\t</RequireAny>\n\t</IfModule>\n\t<IfModule !mod_authz_core.c>\n\t\t# Apache 2.2\n\t\tOrder Deny,Allow\n\t\tDeny from All\n\t\tAllow from 127.0.0.1\n\t\tAllow from ::1\n\t\t# Allow from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx\n\t</IfModule>\n</Directory>\n\n<Directory /usr/share/phpMyAdminNew/setup/>\n\t<IfModule mod_authz_core.c>\n\t\t# Apache 2.4\n\t\t<RequireAny>\n\t\t\tRequire ip 127.0.0.1\n\t\t\tRequire ip ::1\n\t\t\t# Require ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx\n\t\t</RequireAny>\n\t</IfModule>\n\t<IfModule !mod_authz_core.c>\n\t\t# Apache 2.2\n\t\tOrder Deny,Allow\n\t\tDeny from All\n\t\tAllow from 127.0.0.1\n\t\tAllow from ::1\n\t\t# Allow from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx\n\t</IfModule>\n</Directory>\n\n# These directories do not require access over HTTP - taken from the original\n# phpMyAdmin upstream tarball\n\n<Directory /usr/share/phpMyAdminNew/libraries/>\n\tOrder Deny,Allow\n\tDeny from All\n\tAllow from None\n</Directory>\n\n<Directory /usr/share/phpMyAdminNew/setup/lib/>\n\tOrder Deny,Allow\n\tDeny from All\n\tAllow from None\n</Directory>\n\n<Directory /usr/share/phpMyAdminNew/setup/frames/>\n\tOrder Deny,Allow\n\tDeny from All\t\nAllow from None\n</Directory>\n\n# This configuration prevents mod_security at phpMyAdmin directories from\n# filtering SQL etc.  This may break your mod_security implementation.\n#\n#<IfModule mod_security.c>\n#\t<Directory /usr/share/phpMyAdminNew/>\n#\t\tSecRuleInheritance Off\n#\t</Directory>\n#</IfModule>' > /etc/httpd/conf.d/phpMyAdminNew.conf;

Personally I also experience extremely slow with phpmyadmin, when I view in "View" Table. What I did is upgrade the phpmyadmin to the latest version, then my problem is solved. Maybe u can give a try for phpymadmin v4
