• so its looking that on by dual core box i did not hit any parallelism (ill have to look at the query plans tomorrow) and if i had cross tabs would have been faster. ill also have to add in statistics io to the testing or run the profiler at the same time im running the queries.

    glad to know i am at least on the right track for a test methodology as well.
