The following query
```sql
SELECT spree_orders . *
FROM spree_orders
WHERE spree_orders . user_id = ?
AND spree_orders . completed_at IS ?
AND spree_orders . created_by_id = ?
ORDER BY created_at DESC LIMIT ?
```
performs quite badly even though LIMIT is always 1 because:
* ORDER BY requires sorting by a column which is not indexed therefore
a sequential scan is performed.
* Although `completed_at` is indexed, `user_id` and `created_by_id` are
not causing a sequential scan.
To make it worse this query is executed very often in the following
controllers among others also related to checkout:
* CartController#populate
* EnterprisesController#Shop
* LineItemsController#bought
* ShopController#products
* ShopController#order_cycle
In some cases this query alone accounts for 66.8% of the total time
of the endpoint.

See by yourself. We move from 56.643ms to 0.077ms. Pretty neat.

Open Food Network
The Open Food Network is an online marketplace for local food. It enables a network of independent online food stores that connect farmers and food hubs (including coops, online farmers' markets, independent food businesses etc); with individuals and local businesses. It gives farmers and food hubs an easier and fairer way to distribute their food.
Supported by the Open Food Foundation and a network of global affiliates, we are proudly open source and not-for-profit - we're trying to seriously disrupt the concentration of power in global agri-food systems, and we need as many smart people working together on this as possible.
We're part of global movement - get involved!
