first of all, you're running 4 queries here. 4 queries is a lot! Especially when you don't need more than 2 ;)
the problem here is that your queries are pretty "unknown" to this function. Although it does a nice result for that unknowing, there's a few minor things that make it faster.
First of all, would be using less queries.
What I usually do is issue a query like this:
"SELECT count(some_unique_col) WHERE (that_where_clause_youre_using_in_the_select_query)"
then, we do some math.
$pages_before = $page-1; $rows_before = $pages_before*$itens;
$rows_after = $total_number_of_rows-($page*$itens); $pages_after = ceil($rows_after/20);
Then do the actual selecting of the rows using the limit.
The thing that makes it slow in your example is the fact that 4 times you're selecting ALL data from the relevant rows, and buffer it. You buffer it, but don't use any of it, except for the number of rows. Mysql does a far quicker job at this than PHP would, so use mysql. :)
Then, you're using 3 queries to determine the rows around the page; even though, with a bit of simple math, you can calculate it. And trust me on this, simple math is faster ;)
anyway, hope that helped.
