Workaround

The problem is with having sde layers without registered unique rowid column. When registering with the geodatabase then the objectid column is created as unique rowid column.If the user (for some reason) doesn't want to register with the geodatabase, then they can provide a unique column and register with ArcSDE using the sdetable command (sdetable -o register -c <rowid_column> ....).The selections sets need a unique column to select on. If there is no registered rowid column then the FID is used (and joins the business and F table). This is causing the slow performance.The resolution to the bug is to register the column.
