Slow query in MyIsam db check

The query to determine if the DB is myIsam is taking a whopping 13 seconds. It seems the mysql config will affect the speed of 'SHOW TABLE STATUS ' queries

However, this alternate query

{{SELECT count
FROM information_schema.TABLES
WHERE ENGINE <> 'MyISAM'
AND TABLE_SCHEMA = ''" . CRM_Core_DAO::getDatabaseName() . "'
AND TABLE_NAME LIKE 'civicrm_%'
AND TABLE_NAME NOT LIKE 'civicrm_import_job_%'
AND TABLE_NAME NOT LIKE '%temp';}}

Saves 12.99 of those 13 seconds
