I don't know.  I just did a quick and dirty test.

Stop/Start SQL7 then rev the engine to warm it up...
Records  Blockfactor  ms  records/ms
3514      1           406   8.7
2130      100         344   6.2
3077      100         500   6.2
Stop/Start SQL7 then warm it up same way as above...
(Same sequence of queries that are none of the 3
queries that were timed.)
3514      100         500   7.0
2130      1           344   6.2
3077      1           375   8.2

The above is a bit surprising, but it is, of
course, not a statistically valid test.

The 3 different queries above brought back
3 *non-overlapping* data sets of row IDs only.
NO ID in set 1 is in set 2 or 3
NO ID in set 2 is in set 1 or 3
NO ID in set 3 is in set 1 or 2

Perhaps someone has some statistically valid
results they could share.

best,  paul
