title: Google Cloud SQL is slow
body: <p>I have a D0 size Cloud SQL instance. When I run a simple</p>
  
  <pre><code>select * from table
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>which has around 500 rows, it takes on average 100 ms to execute (as reported by SQL Prompt). Whereas on my local instance of MySQL 5.5, it takes only 1 ms. My dev machine has 2.9GHz dual-core Intel Core i7 and 8GB 1600MHz memory. I've read in an <a href="https://developers.google.com/cloud-sql/faq?hl=en" rel="noreferrer">FAQ</a> that performance of db depends on the size - larger instances have more RAM and CPU. </p>
  
  <p>Is this reasonable to expect performance issues resolved with larger instance size? Or am I missing something else here?</p>
