ok here is real db
the first query I had seems to make no sense because it is only fast if
I limit the rows since almost all rows have status = 'AC'
second query
tables both have about 10 million rows and it takes a long time as you
can see but this person only has approx 160 total documents

Hardly seems like evidence of a performance problem ...
