Lee,

     It may be that a few months ago your table *wasn't* 10 million rows, that for a reason or another the plan hasn't changed (or it has). The most serious thing which can go wrong with a table is chaining, but this is more the scourge of OLTP than DSS, and anyway your stats (they are up-to-date, of course) will tell you that. That said, I have more often seen things wrong with queries than with tables.
