@RckStr - might be worth trying using an IP address for your MySQL server if you're using a name (just to rule out any DNS/name resolution issues)
I set this up with 2 machines (both OSX) and it's pretty well - certainly very easy to setup. Slightly slower than with the local DB but not enough to bother me and certainly not in the region of 20 seconds.
The only thing which doesn't seem to be working is that on the 2nd machine (i.e. not the one I scraped the library on), all the movies/tvshows/music are in the library, but none of the thumbnails, fanart, covers or posters are there. I assume this is because they're on remote servers (TVDB and the like) but are not cached onto that XBMC install - is there any way to populate that cache on other machines? (or is there some other solution)
Thanks
Mark
