I don't remember if you gave details on the sizes of tables, but in
any case I'm going to guess that you are spending almost all of your
time in the optimizer. Try manipulating the parameters to force the
genetic optimizer and see if it helps. Lots of quals but only two
tables gives you a non-optimal case for the default exhaustive
optimizer.
