It works! I restructured my query
SELECT doc FROM document
JOIN (SELECT keyword, doc_id FROM written_by AS _w
JOIN author_keyword AS _kw ON _w.author_id=_kw.author_id
) AS wb ON document.doc_id=wb.doc_id
WHERE wb.keyword='foo'
which is easier to handle for my application logic and it is pretty fast
now.
Many thanks for your help!
