Try
select stories.*,tags.name from
stories left outer join story_tags on stories.article_id =
story_tags.article_id
left outer join tags on story_tags.tag_id = tags.id
WHERE stories.article_id in (select article_id
from stories order by postingdate desc limit 0,20);
(the only difference from yours is that the last condition is moved into
WHERE clause). I believe your original query selects the last 20
articles as well as all articles that don't have any tags on them (which
forces the engine to look at every article).
