sorry for the new thread, ken, the uint is in fact supposed to be seconds, I don't understand everything going on in connect2() in libmysqlclient, however the comments say seconds and it is put in a timeval struct, defined as seconds in bits/time.h.
further testing verifies this, however keep in mind when adjusting the value that the actuall lag experienced will be twice that as vmsql tries to connect twice (with and without specifying the database). thanks matt
