Rudy, I think part of the reason might be that with ORDA you actually have the data loaded and ready to use in the resulting collection, where as with QUERY you have a selection of records, but to use any of the data you still need to load it somehow.
Also, using QUERY, regardless of speed, allow you access to one selection of records only, where as with ORDA, you can just execute the same query with different parameters in to a different collection and have as many different selection of records at the same time. I would think that a real test should be a complete task rather than one isolated part, and then make a decision as to which option makes more sense for that given task.

I did a test with a table containing 120,000 records. The query is on 4 indexed fields and returns 54,000 records. Doing the query with ORDA takes 175 milliseconds. Doing the query with QUERY takes 4 milliseconds. Why??
