Heavy task on mysql by AJAX Pagination?

I use the classical method to create pagination for a long list retrieved from mysql database with a command like

$resultPaging = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM Posts ORDER BY Updated DESC LIMIT $offset, $limit", $con);

In this method, a set of data is read from database by visiting next page. A modern method has been introduced using AJAX and jQuery. In the latter one, there would be one-time connect to the mysql, and all the list is ready to be displayed. I think it can make a heavy task on mysql as it reads the entire list. Considering that all visitors will not browse all pages (normally one of few pages). Ain't it better to read only the data which will be seen by the visitors?

Which is the best method in favor of lighter mysql performance.
