:D

And there's a bug in 9.2 (patch 6, iirc, and it was HP specific) that will send your response time skyhigh, because the optimizer keeps looping the huge buffer - it simply does not understand searching memory for 6 hours is *not* faster than giving up after 1 second, and fetching from disk - although it may be "cheaper".
