Hi Laurie,
I do think that BITRSHIFT is a lot quicker than /2. BITRSHIFT can be done with
only one machine cycle (clock tic); the division is a lot more complex.
BUT !
this is true only if K is an integer (k = CAST(8E9 AS integer)). Otherwise you
must add add the conversion time between numeric and integer.
You can also add a third test : k * .5 sould be faster than k /2
