Steve,

NOFILTER does NOT disable Rushmore at all. It simply prevents the result set of records from being the opriginal table used again with a filter set on it and forces the creation of an actual cursor with the records.

NOFILTER may cause a query to take longer, but that is not because Rushmore is not being used. Rushmore will optimize a NOFILTER query as much as it can.
