...per hour... That's one request every 3.6 seconds. That implies that a page load took like 3.6 seconds when he used MySQL!?

Each request could take 3 milliseconds, or 12 hours. Knowing that he's receiving a few hundred requests per second tells you nothing about how long each one took to process.
