>I've never seen Rushmore adversely affected by too many tags. All that does is increase the size of the CDX which would make it do more I/O to read it, but not the amount of slowdown that you were seeing. Are you sure SDT didn't readd an index that had been accidently removed before?

Positive, I checked the table directly. The tag i mentioned was the only compound tag and began with the primary key. That's why I removed it, no other reason. All the other tags are on single columns.
