Larry,
sql*net from client can also point to processing or think time on the
client / application server and not only time spend on the network.
One of the problems I have seen with lobs is that they are always
returned row by row instead of returning an array of them causing the
network latency to play a very important role. Also I have noticed that
some connection libraries (odbc if I recall correctly) will first
retrieve the length of the lob before retrieving the actual data (adding
another roundtrip to it).
regards,
