title: Slow mysql query - select
body: <p>This query takes about 10 seconds to execute the first time, and then each consecutive time it takes upwards of a minute:</p>
  
  <pre><code>SELECT qQuoteDateTime, 
         qLastSalePrice, 
         qNetChangePrice, 
         qNetChangePct,
         qShareVolumeQty 
    FROM quotes 
    WHERE qSymbol='GE'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The table I'm using has about 2300 records.  I've seen someone implement a decently fast query to display all of the records, but I don't have access to the code he used.</p>
  
  <p>How can I speed this up?</p>
