What is the value of “temporary_storage_engine”?  Perhaps you are using InnoDB 
temporary tables which are slower than aria temporary tables.  The biggest 
difference between InnoDB and myisam for this type of simple query with a full 
table scan is IO because InnoDB tables are larger than myisam for the same 
data.  However this size difference (which should be less than 2x) doesn’t 
account for the dramatic time difference.

You might be able to use PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA to get performance information, but 
MariaDB lacks a sys schema, making P_S hard to use.
