Yeah, that's what I'm thinking.  But, it's such a striking difference (compared to what I'm used to seeing in this application -- this is not the most complex query in this application) that there must be something wrong (either in what I'm doing or in what CF is doing).

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by this, but if you're asking if I'm seeing execution timings in both Toad and in CF, then yes. (Toad is about 3 seconds.  CF is 25+ seconds)

This particular query returns 3,500 rows (I'm going to see if I can limit the number of returned records, but because this is for data reporting, I doubt I'll be able to).  That's a lot for a single page, and I'd expect some slowness when I actually need to display these results, but I figure I'll burn that bridge when I get to it [or something like that . . . .].  

As far as what Toad's bringing back, I can't be certain, but it appears it's bringing them all back at once [if I scroll through the results, there's no delay in it displaying those new records.  The only delay occurs if I do a CTRL-END to zip down to the last record.]
