Does anyone know of a way to speed up seek time when selecting based on
an indexed char field? I have a query that I'm executing ('select * from
Table where UserName = myname') and it takes approximately 7 seconds to
execute this 1000 times (UserName is char[50], and it is indexed). If I

If you're indexing all 50 characters, index fewer of them.
Not that I think you're wrong, but help me understand, please:
It seems to me that this would cause the index creation to go faster,
but the execution of the SELECT query to, if anything, go slower...?

Ah, see.. I hadn't thought of disk reads. I was thinking if you do a
