BTW, I've also tested another solution: partitioning on 'criticity', 
with one partition for 'INFO' (99% of the rows), and another one for the 
other values ('WARNING' and 'ALARM' in the real case). The statistics 
are much better... however an expression index would be an easier fix.

Multivariate MCV statistics don't work well in the real case (100M lines 
in the table).
