@HansPassant: At least at the moment, the rate is 8.1k a day. The equilibrium theory suggests it's not anybody's fault there aren't more answers, but that this is a natural consequence of the existing system.

In this case it looks like a subtable may help, you are joining a lot of things there. E.g., first form the table results (tagname, count), and then left join the tags again, on the tag name. Select (name, ifnull(count, 0)) from the join.
