I would love to see some performance comparisons between joins without RI constraints and joins with
the constraints. In fact I would like to see the difference between the CQE and SQE in relation to
this.

Subject: Referential Integrity Constraints may enhance performance!

RI Constraints may help performance! Even if you've already built the
appropriate keys in a relationship like a key on item number in your item
master, and a the appropriate keys in your order header, if you have a RI
constraint defined between these two files, and often join them, the
optimizer really likes the information provided by a RI constraint.

I'll take any bullet I can to encourage people to start using constraints.
