MySQL and subselects

Wednesday, August 11th, 2010

Why does this query (on a small indexed table with ~3000 rows) take almost a minute to return

select client,  unix_timestamp() - unix_timestamp(hittime) as timediff from polling p, (select max(p2.id) as id from polling p2
where p2.system='PROD' group by p2.client) as pp where p.id=pp.id
