sorry, but just to be 100% clear... i'm guessing from your use of queryplan 
and schematuning (which are related to catalogs and AT schema) that you ARE 
using membrane/remember on this site, correct?

if so, that's pretty cool... you've officially got the largest membership of 
any remember site (and possibly of any Plone site, period) that i've heard of.  :)
