MariaDB has a lot of improvements to the core optimiser that powers both MySQL & MariaDB. These optimiser features all have flags which you can enable (they are disabled by default). Learn more about table elimination, subquery optimisations, plus all the new features in MariaDB 5.3 including index condition pushdowns, multi-range read table access, block nested loop algorithm for outer joins, block nested hash loop joins (classic hash join), batched key access (BKA), microsecond support and a lot more. Igor and Sergey both work on all these optimiser features on a daily basis, and will be able to go deep in-depth to explain them and why they are beneficial to end-users in general.
