SELECT ... LIMIT x,y becomes slow with larger x
Posted by: Per Lindberg

I just discovered that selecting a bunch of records with

SELECT * FROM table LIMIT start,count

gets slower with increasing values for 'start'.

I had thought that this would be a great statement to process a huge InnoDB table (millions of records) in batches (instead of all at once), but alas...

Is this a bug or a feature in MySQL?
