Extract query optimization is based on the bottom slice of the cubes defined for
the cube model. Performance improvements will vary depending on how close
the base level of the cube is to the bottom of the cube model. The higher the slice
is on the cube model, the higher the expected performance improvements are.
Accessing the higher level data without these summary tables in place will
