      Middle/big zabbix installation has been upgraded from 2.2.9 to 3.0.6 and one performance issue appeared.
      When trying to open pages on Monitoring menu (at least for Triggers, Graphs) - page appears with a big delay - 90+ seconds.
      When page is loading, such SQL is executed, its explain:

      mysql> explain SELECT g.groupid,g.name FROM groups g WHERE EXISTS  (SELECT NULL FROM hosts h,items i,graphs_items gi,graphs gr use index (PRIMARY),hosts_groups hg  WHERE hg.hostid=h.hostid AND h.status IN ('0','1')  AND hg.hostid=i.hostid AND i.itemid=gi.itemid  AND gi.graphid=gr.graphid AND gr.flags IN ('0','4')  AND g.groupid=hg.groupid) ORDER BY g.name;

      it returns 304 groups.
      This SQL is for Graphs page. For triggers page its similar and also takes much time.

      There was a change ZBX-9162 (commited to 2.2.12, 3.0.2, 3.2.0), which changed considered SQL.
      Trying to understand what could be a reason of the regression I tried revision 59333 (before the fix) of svn://svn.zabbix.com/branches/3.0/frontends/php/include/classes/api/services/CHostGroup.php -r 59333 and it immediately resolved the performance regression.
      (yes, there were other further changes after r59333, but for a quick test just reverting file revision is ok).
      The older SQL takes less than a second.

      mysqld --version 
      mysqld  Ver 5.5.38-MariaDB-wsrep-log for Linux on x86_64 (MariaDB Server, wsrep_25.10.r3997)
      

      Indexes of involved tables were checked - they are the same as in official schema.

      More debug info from the PROD installation and MY TEST Debian workstation (not sure why explains are different sometimes) :
