I'm pretty sure that statistics TIME and IO don't include SQLCLR and I believe they sometimes miss what's happening in UDF's that a query may contain.

Correct on the UDF, least for the Stats IO, I don't know about the CLR

I'll have to double check and see if I can come up with an actual example,

Let me...

That's what I really like about your blogs... they have code that you can test to verify. Thanks, Gail and great blog on execution-plan "lies".

--Jeff Moden

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

I also agree with Gail and again test everything throughly before applying DTA recommendations. I have only use the ones with significant improvements in the past!
