Historically - what year did emini S&P volume pick up?

I'm going to purchase the historical intraday database for ES to back test a system. What year do you guys suggest I go back to - what year did volume start to pick up. Started in 1998 yeah ?
Thanks guys

Until 2000, ES was less than 15% of total volume.

I think in 2002 ist reached about 30%.

Some time during 2003 or 2004 it suddenly jumped over.
 
I've done a lot of back testing lately. I have confidence in the most recent data. The markets are constantly evolving. Good luck!
