You can 'fix' the max() SNAFU with a new query of the form
"select field from tbl limit 1 order by field desc" (not precise syntax, but the idea is correct)
I call it a SNAFU since it I hate to have to change queries from something obvious to a more obscure format just to
workaround an optimizer issue.
Not sure if there is an equivalent query to make count() work faster
