I would guess the problem is the restriction on counterstamp, because 
written like that, it probably can't use the index.

try something where you avoid the use of the date_part function e.g.:AND counterstamp > '2001-07-26 00:00:00.0'

 I will try it, but it use the index when there is a few amount of rows.
When I insert a lot of rows like me (in milions), index isn't used. I don't
know the number of rows which makes border between using and don't using
index and I can discover it if you want. Going to try your suggestions ...

Best regards, Robert
