I know I am, but if you look at the plan (which I will again add as an
attachment) you see that the plan looks pretty good, in fact way better
then the original plan did.

I don't know how much time each "unit" takes, but a normal select (SELECT
* FROM <table>), which might yield a plan of 0..22.2 "units", takes no
time at all. This plan is at most up at 200, which I don't think is costly
considering what it does.
