Good Afternoon Michael:

Running a simulation of what your application is attempting to do:

mysql -N --user=genome --host=genome-mysql.cse.ucsc.edu -A \
         -e "show tables;" hg18 | while read T
do
     mysql -N --user=genome --host=genome-mysql.cse.ucsc.edu -A \
         -e "desc ${T};" hg18
done

This takes about 2 minutes here in our local network environment,
producing output of about 45,306 description lines from the 4,593 tables.

Perhaps you can run the above loop in your environment and see
if it takes significant more time.
