Well. However, we had encountered this problem. The application
submits a lot of queries like this case. Then the mysql server and
storage engine's loads had been very high. Although, we have used
cache to reduce the number of this query, the result have been not
very good. So, we have modified sql/opt_sum.cc to get the exact
records in a range. Of course, it has effects only on our storage
engine. Present seemed to work well.
