I just check myself.

I have a fact table which contains 10M rows (4 integer, one double,
primary index on 3 integer). So very similar.

A table scan with JDBC ( embedded ) takes around 60 seconds. Just
making a sum takes 30 sec.

The difference is due to the creation of a temp table for the result
as there is no server-side cursor.

Limit and offset come after this temp table is created. Not exactly
because it read only offset+limit row (thus a linear decreasing of
performances). But this tricks don't work if you use an order by (your
first post), it will make a copy of your whole rating table
(expensive), order it (very expensive).
