Hi David!
  You are entering the realm of Performance Tuning.  It's so easy to write
SQL that we often lose sight of what we're asking the machine to do for us.
Dynamic SQL makes the most demands on the system and provides it with the
fewest clues on how to optimise.  If at all possible, get rid of the dynamic
SQL and replace it with parameter markers.  You'll have to get used to the
answer 'it all depends...' when talking about performance, because each site
is different; number of files, records, relations, indices, views, etc. all
play a role.

The prime performance factor is having a good index already built.  Read the
performance section of the SQL Programmer's guide and you'll start to get a
feel for the task.  Run your program in debug to see optimiser messages in
the job log.

I wish I had a good answer to give you, but this is one of those things that
you're going to have to work out for yourself, with your own database.
