Running the same query statement on the tables located on a file server where the "live" tables and databse reside completion of the statement takes 10-13 seconds and sometimes longer.
Well obviously there's the time it takes the data to get from the server to your m/c, then there's the contention between your user and other users of the network for time (just like the internet slows down when there's a lot of traffic)

Write more efficient SQL?

You could put up a Wait Window "Query in progress. Please wait ..." NoWait NoClear before the SQL and
Wait Clear afterwards.
