 Hello,

 Sorry for the delay. I didn't get notified when you guys replied, and I
 completely forgot about it.

 Yes, in my previous example I was using MySQL.

 Hoewever, I created a test app to see how it goes using the default
 settings (including SQLite db). The result is as follows:

 {{{
 $ python manage.py shell
 >>> from django.core.paginator import Paginator
 >>> from django.db import connections
 >>> from django.db.models import Count
 >>> from bug.models import Article
 >>> a = Article.objects.annotate(comments_count=Count('comments'))
 >>> p = Paginator(a, 25)
 >>> print p.object_list
 []
 >>> print connections['default'].queries
 [{u'time': u'0.001', u'sql': u'QUERY = u\'SELECT "bug_article"."id",
 "bug_article"."title", "bug_article"."body", COUNT("bug_comment"."id") AS
 "comments_count" FROM "bug_article" LEFT OUTER JOIN "bug_comment" ON (
 "bug_article"."id" = "bug_comment"."article_id" ) GROUP BY
 "bug_article"."id", "bug_article"."title", "bug_article"."body" LIMIT 21\'
 - PARAMS = ()'}]
 >>> print p.count
 0
 >>> print connections['default'].queries
 [{u'time': u'0.001', u'sql': u'QUERY = u\'SELECT "bug_article"."id",
 "bug_article"."title", "bug_article"."body", COUNT("bug_comment"."id") AS
 "comments_count" FROM "bug_article" LEFT OUTER JOIN "bug_comment" ON (
 "bug_article"."id" = "bug_comment"."article_id" ) GROUP BY
 "bug_article"."id", "bug_article"."title", "bug_article"."body" LIMIT 21\'
 - PARAMS = ()'}, {u'time': u'0.000', u'sql': u'QUERY = u\'SELECT COUNT(*)
 FROM (SELECT "bug_article"."id" AS "id", "bug_article"."title" AS "title",
 "bug_article"."body" AS "body", COUNT("bug_comment"."id") AS
 "comments_count" FROM "bug_article" LEFT OUTER JOIN "bug_comment" ON (
 "bug_article"."id" = "bug_comment"."article_id" ) GROUP BY
 "bug_article"."id", "bug_article"."title", "bug_article"."body")
 subquery\' - PARAMS = ()'}]
 >>>

 }}}

 This time I'm again on Django 1.7.1.

 For a second look, I updated Django to 1.8.4. The result is the same.

 As you can see, it's Paginator's `count` that wraps the query resulting
 from the QuerySet in a subquery.
