Thanks for the tips. I did try limiting it to fewer rows.
I didn't mean to delete the OP, I meant to forward it to someone else.
If someone else sees this question, the content of the first post talked about an update query that involved a single table, where the value stored in a weight column was updated based on the value in a count column divided by some constant.
E.g.: UPDATE SCORES SET WEIGHT = CNT / 5.7
