Did you try one query (2seconds) or ~500 queries.
For about ~500 queries, it takes about 5-7 minuetes. I think this is way too slow. Because, I need to make about 100,000 queries, which takes 1000 minutes (16 hours)....

Wow! I keep accessing it by reference, it runs in no time. Fantastic. Thanks a lot.
