Quite a lot of this can be JVM tuning. What JVM are you running, exactly? If
it's a Sun JVM, is it the client or server JVM? What heap settings are you
using? Are they approprate for the amount of data you're retrieving (how
large is each row)? Try running with -verbose:gc and see how much time is
spent in GC.
There was a similar question a while back where the dominant cost was GC ..
the default JVM heap settings aren't too good for large data sets.
