In this case, what happens is one kinda ugly big transaction is read
into a hash, and then looped through (usually ~10,000 rows). On each
loop another, slightly less ugly query is performed based on the first
query's values now in the hash (these queries being where throttling
might help). Then after the second query is parsed a PDF file is created
(also a big source of slowness). It isn't entirely read-only though
because as the PDFs are created a flag is updated in the given record's
row. So yeah, need to experiment some. :)
