In addition to making the changes to the config file as suggested in other
responses, you may also want to do some testing with the 7.4 beta.
Hash aggreates will most likely speed this query up alot (assuming there
aren't millions of unique spcodes). The production release of 7.4 will
probably happen in about a month.
