What you can try to do if the bottleneck is your MySQL server responding poorly is in your MySQL config make sure you have --skip-name-resolve in the config

If a lot of people have recently noticed slower issues I will not rule that out.
Another thing is, if your IP did change and EOC is trying to connect to it, you will ultimately need to delete that connection in EoC and create another.
And in terms of MySQL being able to be seen (knight-mare), make sure you troubleshoot all basic visibilities (port, MySQL access).
