At my old job we used Kaspersky and I had to kill it all the time because it caused my machine to be incredibly slow.

Hmm, I might be tempted to check those 300K records you are no longer accessing to see if there is any null data/duplicates or any other strange data that could be causing SQL to chug along.

Wonder if indices were refreshed. That has helped a bunch of our queries.

Well, if your sentences are anything to go by, there still may be room for even more efficiency improvements!

A million years ago when I was an IT guy and DB admin we used a 4GL DB called Progress for our MRP system. I had a custom accounts payable report that ran daily (sometimes 2x a day) that took nearly an hour. I went to the annual user's conference and attended a session held by a Progress guru. I learned a crazy 4GL Progress trick that got the report to run in...
...wait for it...

You know it can't be real. It must all be fake, because there are no aliens. 
When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others.

Chang'e probe: First pictures from moon’s ‘dark side’[^]
This should have been given more attention by news organisations -- science is far more important than politics, because it never changes, and it really does rule our lives.

That's alright Marc. Your post was at the top, so I read yours first.

What, do you think gravity was different before Newton wrote about it?
Or that the Sun did indeed revolve around the Earth, because people believed it to be so?
So yes, Science Does Not Change.
That I've had to qualify that statement twice, in a forum that is populated by supposedly intelligent people, is somewhat annoying.

Gravitational constant.

You used 2 examples where science has not changed, that we know of. Here's 2 where it has changed. Global warming and wine being good for you. And, here's a third, eggs being good for you.
How the earth came about.
Man evolving from apes.
And http://eprints.brighton.ac.uk/17519/1/SSR%20September%202017%20121-129%20Sosabowski%20%26%20Gard.pdf[^].
So, not sure why you're up so high on your high horse. Maybe you meant something other than what you actually wrote?

And how exactly did the science change, in those instances?
But let's not go into how little (i.e. absolutely bugger all) phrases like "good for you" have to do with science; just tell me how science changed, concerning global warming -- preferably citing textbooks, to show which laws of Physics changed.

Science said that they were good for you. Then they said they were bad for you. That is what we humans call change.
Mark_Wallace wrote: laws of Physics changed.
None. But science did not understand the laws and so science had to change.
If you have a genuine desire to see examples of how it has changed, read the link I provided.
