Скорость сравнения строк SQL 'like' vs 'patindex'

У меня был следующий запрос (упрощенный) ...

SELECT     *
FROM       table1 AS a
INNER JOIN table2 AS b ON (a.name LIKE '%' + b.name + '%')

Для моего набора данных это заняло около 90 секунд, поэтому я искал способы его ускорить. Без всякой уважительной причины я решил попробовать PATINDEX вместо LIKE ...

SELECT     *
FROM       table1 AS a
INNER JOIN table2 AS b ON (PATINDEX('%' + b.name + '%', a.name) > 0)

В том же наборе данных это выполняется в мгновение ока и возвращает те же результаты.

Кто-нибудь может объяснить, почему LIKE намного медленнее, чем PATINDEX? Учитывая, что LIKE просто возвращает BOOLEAN, тогда как PATINDEX возвращает фактическое местоположение, я ожидал, что последнее будет медленнее, если что-то будет, или это просто вопрос того, насколько эффективно были написаны две функции?

Хорошо, вот каждый запрос полностью, а затем план его выполнения. "#StakeholderNames" - это просто временная таблица вероятных имен, с которыми я сопоставляю.

Я восстановил живые данные и выполнил каждый запрос несколько раз. Первый занимает около 17 секунд (что несколько меньше, чем исходные 90 секунд в действующей базе данных), а второй - менее 1 секунды ...
