Change the query from correlated to IN and see what happens.
SELECT *
FROM eshop_items AS ite
WHERE ItemId IN (
SELECT attItemId
FROM eshop_items_attributes
WHERE attType=5
AND attValue='20')
ORDER BY itemAdded DESC
LIMIT 0, 18
You'll see further gains by changing your btree to bitmap on eshop_items_attributes. But be warned: bitmap has consequences on INSERT/UPDATE.
