oh, that makes sense then.. t.e.o uses our old production DB box, which 
is a ton slower, obviously, than our live DB box

i had tuned the blockfactor based on how fast it was pulling results 
from the *live* DB, not the test one. we shouldn't tune our test site up 
like that, cus it will slow our live site down.

and i remember seeing somewhere that the optimum MacroMedia Official 
Recommendation(tm) for blockfactor was something like a blockfactor of 
10 for every 3.2k of data returned or something
