Queries obviously run "on the server." That's kind of the point of the database system being a "client/server" system. The question is what client program(s) you used to process the result sets. I'd be surprised to see any client process 100K records in any meaningful way in much less than 30 seconds. Rendering that much data into a console will take some time. Drawing it into cells on a GUI window will take a lot more time. Supposing you were using a graphical client, it would be unsurprising for it to have submitted something equivalent to "limit 30 rows" (or whatever you can display on screen), and defer further processing 'til later. If that were the case, then 26s to process the whole thing would be a lot more efficient than 5-6s to process a mere 30 rows... > This is all resulting data for all of the databases that I tested.
