(BTW, the reason I use indexes is not for any of the reasons you described;
I simply like INDEXED BY and SEARCH. Having gone to the trouble of defining
an index for a table it seems impolite to then use a subscript... :-))
Couldn't care less whether they're faster or slower; on modern hardware it
makes very little difference, and even if it did, I'd still do it. Because I
can.:-))

I hope you use ODO on 'high speed' SEARCHes. If not, they're taking twice as long as they
should for serial, 10% longer for binary.
