With trace.

https://covid-19.datasettes.com/covid/ny_times_us_counties?_trace=1&_facet_size=3&_size=2&_trace=1 shows the following:

fetch rows: 0.41762600005768036 ms facet state: 284.30423800000426 ms facet county: 273.2565999999679 ms facet fips: 197.80996999998024 ms = 755.78843400001ms total

It didn't run a count because that's the homepage and the count is cached. So I dropped the count from the query and ran it:

Shows 649.4359889999259 ms for the query - compared to 755.78843400001ms for the separate. So it saved about 100ms.

Still not a huge difference though!
