1. Does IMPORT TABLE mean that it has to copy data from MySQL Database into its own storage or does it merely mean it will connect to the MySQL db and query it directly?
2. If it is a long query (e.g. a 60 second query), does FnordMetric server cache previous results?

It will only connect to the MySQL database and won't copy any data into it's own storage. The SQL query will be pushed down into the MySQL database and the chart will be rendered from the result set that is returned by MySQL database (or other external storage system).

Not yet but this is on the roadmap. (Pull Requests always welcome!)
