I'd be highly, highly suspicious of the cpu time c. 

1. You should be able to verify (roughly the elapsed time) of the
statement, if by no other means than running in sqlplus with timing on. 
2. 3 statements with *exactly* the same cpu time - all in very very
round numbers. Seems unlikely to me. 

Might be an hp-ux bug but as I don't have HP-UX to play with that is
speculation of the first order.
