Create an index in your database on the t_dsref table on the f_date column.

MySQL example:
CREATE INDEX `idx_date_dsr`
 USING BTREE ON t_dsref (f_date);

MSSQL example (If you're not just going to use Mangement Studio to make it):
CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX idx_date_dsr
ON t_dsref (f_date)
GO

Note: MySQL BTREE indexes have shown positive results on test systems.  Other indexes have not been tested.  You may want to consult a Database Admin if you're unsure on what to do for your database system.
