I will try this Monday, but isn't 75 seconds an awful long time? It
almost seems like even the worst plan could find records faster than
that, and if it were actually scanning everything sequentially, there
would be a fair amount of variation, say 25 seconds, 50 seconds, 100
seconds. The most I have seen is a range of, say, 75-77. That just
seems way too slow.
