Either way, I was surprised to see the "like" to be in the top
performers and "left()" to be last.

I suppose the LIKE operator is optimized for the case when it begins with a constant:

mysql> select BENCHMARK(10000000, 'dfsfsdfs' like '%F%' );
1 row in set (3.43 sec)


MySql will use indexes to optimize LIKE queries if the expression
does not start with a wildcard character.
