I don't have any great ideas, but one thing I'd do is put the connectstring into the CFQUERY itself to see what happens. If things go faster then the problem is in accessing the tnsnames.ora file.
We had some problems during load testing CF4.5,SP2 and Oracle 8.1.7 where the problem was trying to access tnsnames.ora too often. Putting the connectstring info into the CFQUERY fixed that. Also, I've heard of using "sql trace/TKPROF" to debug slow Oracle queries. I haven't used it myself, but info about it should be in the Oracle docs.
