2 seconds is pretty slow, especially for a single item lookup which is about as good as it gets for database lookups etc.

Where is that time spent?

That is the entire cycle from browser, to server and back + js execution.

As mentioned in a comment below php execution including db call is: P95 is 120.9ms P99 is 634.11ms

Which means the rest is DNS lookups and js execution.
