CTE tables now materialise via MEMRDD (no file on disk), yet the RunSelect cleanup loop was still stat-ing __cte_<name>.dbf for every CTE in every CTE query. Profile after the FetchRow rewrite pinned HbFileExists at 20.28% of total CPU — pure waste when MEMRDD is the common path. Add s_lCteDiskSeen flag, set only when the legacy DBFNTX fallback in RunSelect actually opens a pre-existing __cte_<name>.dbf (line 1247 path — rare, only for sub-executors referencing a CTE by name on a crashed-prior-run .dbf). Cleanup runs only when the flag is set. pprof delta (full bench with cache enabled): rawsyscalln: 25.56% → 8.50% (~17 points removed) HbFileExists: 20.28% → 0% (dropped out of top) Wall-clock unchanged (ENOENT stats are kernel-cached on Darwin), but this removes the last visible avoidable syscall. What's left in the profile (kevent, madvise, pthread_cond_*) is Go runtime + scheduler overhead that application code can't touch. FiveSql2 43/43, Harbour compat 56/56.
