Thanks for all your speedy help, everyone. I tried doing a "self join"
and that sped things up enormously (query took on the order of 30
seconds to compare two million-row table slices, resulting in a 20K
row result). I will also try re-ordering the unique constraint to get
speedier indexing out of it and will look at table partitioning.

Regards,
Ken
