Walden,

This looks very promising, but I think I need more tests to make sure it
stays consistent.

Can you try a couple of things?

1) rewrite the query as:


This time the temporary table is listed as taking 0.1 seconds to create --
compared to the 3.4 seconds the first time around.

3) Flip the query (again the engine should be smart enough, but...)


And then it says it took 0.0 seconds to create the temporary table. So I
tried the original SQL again, and it also took 0.0 seconds. So I think it
is benefiting from having just run a very similar query? I tried a few
different selection criteria, and so far have acceptable results on all of
them using your first proposed rewrite.
