Our controller asked for an additional filter to a report that causes a cpu plateau for 15 minutes. The funny thing is, it runs in seconds without the filter. There are too many variables to predict what will happen to the OLTP that would be affected by adding an index to fix this. The SQL comes from a code generator, can't simply hint.

We live in interesting times.
