3 cose :
- Stai ricalcolando la stessa cosa circa un miliardo e mezzo di volte (in realtà tutto dipende solo da alcuni parametri che sono gli stessi per molte righe)
- Gli aggregati sono più efficienti in big chunk (JOIN) che in small bit (subquery)
- MySQL è estremamente lento con le sottoquery.
Quindi, quando calcoli "conteggi voti per option_id" (che deve scansionare la tabella grande), e poi devi calcolare "conteggi voti per poll_id", beh, non avviare nuovamente la tabella grande, usa solo i risultati precedenti!
Potresti farlo con un ROLLUP.
Ecco una query che farà ciò di cui hai bisogno, in esecuzione su Postgres.
Per fare in modo che MySQL esegua questa operazione, dovrai sostituire tutte le istruzioni "WITH foo AS (SELECT...)" con tabelle temporanee. Questo è facile. Le tabelle temporanee in memoria MySQL sono veloci, non aver paura di usarle, poiché ciò ti consentirà di riutilizzare i risultati dei passaggi precedenti e di risparmiare molti calcoli.
Ho generato dati di test casuali, sembra funzionare. Viene eseguito in 0,3 secondi...
