Can you avoid running it 40 times, maybe by restructuring the
query (or making a view) along the lines of the following and
adding some logic to your page?
SELECT p.partner_id, ug.user_group_id, u.id, count(*)
FROM partners p
LEFT JOIN user_groups ug
ON ug.partner_id=p.partner_id
LEFT JOIN users u
ON u.user_group_id=ug.id
WHERE NOT u.deleted
GROUP BY 1,2,3
;
