Not too bad, in and of itself, but explain only gives an estimate, and the 
actual query plan could potentially differ a lot. Have a look at 
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/show-profile.html for some more 
performance debugging tools. If your query ends up in the slowlog (or you can 
turn on the general log for a moment), you can also look at Percona Toolkit 
(pt-query-digest etc) for some more toys.
