 Clay, Teradata stores base tables rows in different blocks than the sub-table rows. In a read, only those blocks are read that have the base
table rows required to satifsy the query. In case of a FTS on a table with NUSI, only those blocks with base table rows are read while on
tables with a USI, blocks with rows based on the USI are read. I believe the time taken should be same.
