Don't use SQL_CALC_FOUND ROWS on simple queries, when you have to run a
simple query on one or two (with join) tables with a simple WHERE. Especialy
if tables are big. I found out that single SELECT COUNT(id) FROM table is
far more faster when query has simple WHERE conditions. I use
SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS only with a rather complex queries - that
SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS doesn't affect query execution at all (well, it affects
ofcourse, but affect is so small, you can't see it).
