Same goes for another atypical method (the "Multi-Pass" update) that a chap by the name of "Hugo" wrote.My curiosity has been piqued. Would this be Hugo Kornelski and where would this atypical method be elaborated?
No. Different Hugo... Hugo Kornelis.
Here's his original post on the subject...

Thanks Jeff!
My thought question: Have you ever been told that your query runs too fast?
My advice:
INDEXing a poor-performing query is like putting sugar on cat food. Yeah, it probably tastes better but are you sure you want to eat it?
The path of least resistance can be a slippery slope. Take care that fixing your fixes of fixes doesn't snowball and end up costing you more than fixing the root cause would have in the first place.
