Hi Boaz.  It is hard to answer this question without
knowing the specifics of exactly what you are doing
for sort/selection.  What does the -v table look like,
what do the sort fields look like on the report?  What
auto indexes do you have?  What does the selection
table look like?

A telling statement of yours was:
