     4.22) Why are my subqueries using IN so slow?
     
    Currently, we join subqueries to outer queries by sequentially
-   scanning the result of the subquery for each row of the outer query. A
-   workaround is to replace IN with EXISTS:
+   scanning the result of the subquery for each row of the outer query.
+   If the subquery returns only a few rows and the outer query returns
+   many rows, IN is fastest. To speed up other queries, replace IN with
+   EXISTS:
 SELECT *
     FROM tab
-    WHERE col1 IN (SELECT col2 FROM TAB2)
+    WHERE col IN (SELECT subcol FROM subtab)
 
    to:
 SELECT *
     FROM tab
-    WHERE EXISTS (SELECT col2 FROM TAB2 WHERE col1 = col2)
+    WHERE EXISTS (SELECT subcol FROM subtab WHERE subcol = col)
 
-   We hope to fix this limitation in a future release.
+   For this to be fast, subcol should be an indexed column. We hope to
