If host is localhost there is no real choice. Sockets will be used.
The quote from 'info mysql' is had in mind in the earlier post:
* The value of `host' may be either a hostname or an IP address. If
`host' is `NULL' or the string `"localhost"', a connection to the
local host is assumed. If the OS supports sockets (Unix) or named
pipes (Windows), they are used instead of TCP/IP to connect to the
server.
Sockets are faster.
