Are you joining 4 tables with no Join? Wouldn't that cause a cartesian join (all records from the 1st table joining all the records from the 2nd, the 2nd with all the 3rd, the 3rd with all the 4th? If you didn't have much data to begin with, there would not be much time to query it... but later, if you tried it out on larger tables, it would overflow the harddrive (possibly).
