Do you have any deleted records in the table? Is SET DELETED ON? Without a tag on deleted(), you won't be fully optimized. But this is not necessarily bad. You would have to experiment to see if it is faster to have a tag on deleted() for this table.

Hilmar wrote an article on this somewhere...maybe it is in the UT magazine; it would have been several months ago (maybe more than a year).
