IN is fine ( for example ... WHERE field1 IN (1,2,3,4,5,6) is extremely
efficient); it's subqueries in general that are killers. Current MySQL
versions almost always treat subqueries as dependent, even ones that are
obviously not. The 6.0 branch was a significant improvement, but that
branch has been killed off, and there's no indication of the fixes being
backported to 5.x .
