I’ve had more than a few queries I’ve been able to reduce from multiple minutes down to multiple seconds. 4 minutes to 15 seconds, for example. In some cases, I’d written the original, and knew it wasn’t great, but didn’t understand the impact enough to realize how bad it would get.

Never seen a 10 hour to 10 seconds, but do not doubt that it might have happened at some point. I did reduce a 25 hour ETL process down to 25 minutes, but it wasn’t solely down to queries.
