different desc for same statement

hi list,
i have a very strange effect.

I have two boxes with the same DB ( same version, same tables, same my.cnf, etc)
I was trying to optimise an sql statement and used desc to see what is going on
and found to my surprise two different results.

Can this be the result of the optimizer ? (the boxes have very different uptime)
re,
wh

here the output of "desc statement;"

Re: different desc for same statement

Exactly the same data, too? Different index leaf distribution might account for something like this, and it does look like you're retrieving different datasets.

think of it as a backup.
