It seems Debian, whose Linux Mint is based upon, have scripts that get executed when the mysql server is started or restarted, to check for corrupted tables and make an alert for that.

In my Debian server, the culprit seems to be /etc/mysql/debian-start bash script, which in turn calls /usr/share/mysql/debian-start.inc.sh , so check both scripts and comment out the function that is iterating all your tables, from a quick look it seems the following:

check_for_crashed_tables;
which is called from the debian-start script I mentioned above.
