>All you have to do is create an index on Empty( < field > ) and then both the Empty and Not Empty will be optimized.

I do not recommend this. Any condition, especially on "not empty()", would return a LOT of records from the index, just to do Rushmore Optimization. Thus, a query would be "Full Rushmore Optimized" by definition, but not fast. My recent FAQ on Rushmore Optimization explains the details of how this works.
