In some cases, it is not obvious or easy to create a default measure in AS2005 cubes.  In fact, there is no default measure by default, which can lead to long query times for queries that specify no measures.  We have seen slow behavior with several query tools that display an initial default query or heavily browse the hierarchies, especially Proclarity.

What if you have a Distinct Count measure and that is selected as the "default measure" by SSAS?

I think is always set the default measure yourself, because you better the values in the measures then SSAS. E.g., choose a Interger measure instead of numeric/float, etc..
