3 coisas:
- Você está recalculando a mesma coisa um zilhão e meio de vezes (na verdade, todos dependem apenas de alguns parâmetros que são os mesmos para muitas linhas)
- Agregados são mais eficientes em grandes partes (JOINs) do que em pequenos bits (subconsultas)
- O MySQL é extremamente lento com subconsultas.
Então, quando você computa "contagens de votos por option_id" (que precisa escanear a tabela grande), e então você precisa calcular "contagens de votos por poll_id", bem, não inicie a tabela grande novamente, apenas use os resultados anteriores!
Você poderia fazer isso com um ROLLUP.
Aqui está uma consulta que fará o que você precisa, rodando no Postgres.
Para fazer o MySQL fazer isso, você precisará substituir todas as instruções "WITH foo AS (SELECT...)" por tabelas temporárias. Isso é fácil. As tabelas temporárias na memória do MySQL são rápidas, não tenha medo de usá-las, pois isso permitirá que você reutilize os resultados das etapas anteriores e economize muitos cálculos.
Eu gerei dados de teste aleatórios, parece funcionar. Executa em 0,3s...
