Ah, that would be me then. Bert mentioned just now on IRC that
"STMT_SELECT_WORKING_CHILDREN should perform a max(op_depth) on the
parent node or it might create a huge join which just returns the same
thing as the old gather children but then a lot slower".

I think that's what I meant it to do but it looks like I forgot the
"max". Testing with a "max" now.

Bert then said: "And just to be sure I think we should check if the
sqlite optimizer does the right thing, or that we should just perform
the retrieve parent_depth once before the entire query. (I would guess
it does the right thing)".

I'll take a look tomorrow.

(hoping all it needs is the "max" to bring the speed back)
