 7.2 Optimizing `SELECT' Statements and Other Queries
 ====================================================
 
 First, one factor affects all statements: The more complex your
 permission setup is, the more overhead you will have.
 
 Using simpler permissions when you issue `GRANT' statements enables
 MySQL to reduce permission-checking overhead when clients execute
 statements.  For example, if you don't grant any table-level or
 column-level privileges, the server need not ever check the contents of
 the `tables_priv' and `columns_priv' tables. Similarly, if you place no
 resource limits on any accounts, the server does not have to perform
 resource counting.  If you have a very high query volume, it may be
 worth the time to use a simplified grant structure to reduce
 permission-checking overhead.
 
 If your problem is with some specific MySQL expression or function, you
 can use the `BENCHMARK()' function from the `mysql' client program to
 perform a timing test. Its syntax is
 `BENCHMARK(LOOP_COUNT,EXPRESSION)'. For example:
 
      mysql> SELECT BENCHMARK(1000000,1+1);
      +------------------------+
      | BENCHMARK(1000000,1+1) |
      +------------------------+
      |                      0 |
      +------------------------+
      1 row in set (0.32 sec)
 
 This result was obtained on a Pentium II 400MHz system. It shows that
 MySQL can execute 1,000,000 simple addition expressions in 0.32 seconds
 on that system.
 
 All MySQL functions should be very optimized, but there may be some
 exceptions. `BENCHMARK()' is a great tool to find out if this is a
 problem with your query.
