>How many records this query returns?
It returns 754,322 records, it is not really that I want to speed it up, but I just want to know how I can estimate the time given a query, so that I don't have waste time in "optimization" for it and have a good feeling about it.

Thanks, that would also explain why I would get other errors if I would query on a filtered cursor.
