OK - there are 5851 rows in this query.

idx_mail_archive_list_yr_mo is an index on
mail_list (int)
mail_year (int)
mail_month(int)

With 5850 rows to sort, I wouldn't expect it to be lightning fast, but
there is a very definite difference from 6.5.3 (or 6.4.x).

As requested by "The Hermit Hacker", I took out the ORDER BY and it was
instantaneous.

I'm sending the explain verbose separately to you as it's very big.
