Tried to use NOT EXISTS and the query was about half a second quicker so not much difference... But when I try to run the 3 queries separately, then they are very quick, 2 barely measurable and the third takes about 1,5 seconds. The union query takes a little over 9 seconds, so I guess the union part is the bottleneck?
