I don't think there's a faster way. You could try to:

1. Rearrange your WHERE clause.
2. Create index for those columns in your condition.
3. Try a:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. select * into temp_table from yourtable where IncludeThisRecord = 'YES'
  2. drop table yourtable
  3. sp_rename temp_table, YourTable
  4.  
The catch: TRIGGERS, DEFAULTS, CONSTRAINTS, etc are not inherited by the new table.

Good luck
