I finished comparing the performance of queries with converted or
expressions and the original ones and found that about 500 "OR"
expressions have significantly noticeable degradation of execution time,
both using the index and without it (you can look at
time_comsuption_with_indexes.png and time_comsuption_without_indexes.html )

The test was performed on the same benchmark database generated by 2
billion values.

I corrected this constant in the patch.
