Maybe in your case, but not always. But I do explicitly call out that I intentionally wanted a test of a "cold start". This is extremely relevant for short lived applications and processes. Think PHP, and serverless environments, etc.
The other tests are measuring already a warmed up connection.
There's also reason why I intentionally coupled "connect + select 1" as the test, because I wanted to make it as close of a comparison as possible. If it was simply a "connect", our HTTP API would be even more favorable since connecting doesn't do authentication or anything like that like the mysql protocol does.
