Here is an example of how to use it in the context of counting the number of sub-entries for the entries of a specific 'main_menu' into a loop variable called $num (although it might be obvious for some, I'm sure this will save a few seconds to many):

$query = db_select('menu_links', 'menu');
$query->fields('menu')->condition('menu_name','main_menu')->condition('plid',0,'=');
$result = $query->execute;
while ($record = $result->fetchAssoc()) {
  $plid = $record['mlid'];
  $query_sub = db_select('menu_links', 'menu');
  $query_sub->fields('menu')->condition('menu_name', 'main_menu')->condition('plid', $plid);
  $result_sub = $query_sub->execute();
  $num = $result_sub->rowCount();
}
