I was pretty much surprised myself. The following code takes about .40 sec to run:

CREATE SQL VIEW VChildren AS ;
SELECT "..." AS ChOrder, ;
CH.ChKey, ;
CH.ChIbKey, ;
CH.ChFirstNam, ;
CH.ChLastName, ;
CH.ChBirthDat, ;
CH.ChKindeduc, ;
CH.ChOwnIncom, ;
CH.ChDeductio, ;
CH.ChRemarks ;
FROM Child Ch ;
WHERE CH.ChIbKey = lcParentKey ;
ORDER BY CH.ChKey

The reason is the "..." AS CHOrder statement. I need this additional field in the view. Without this, the code takes 0.07 sec.
