I was afraid of that and kind of figured. Thanks. 🙂

The problem with monitoring the query plan, is that there several queries in the process and I'm not even sure which one of them is the issue yet. Was hoping to correlate performance by hour to when indexes were reorganized, rebuilt or when stats were updated to give me some clues.

The search goes on (and of course I don't have much time to work on the issue either).
