If it takes that much horsepower to perform that task, then why perform

as one of those #@% top posters I dont know what task you are
referring to. ( use gmail for these "discussions". makes it easy to
reply in context. )   It is very doable for the system to retain an
index and then discard it at some later time after it has not been
used for a while. Just keep the xx most recently used temporary
indexes and delete the rest. IBMers are far from dumb. What they dont
have on a fractional core i520 is the CPU to support such a feature.
