Speed issue in exporting data

[itmasterw]

Hi,
When I export data in PLSQL/Developer, it takes a lot of time in most cases. Now I realize that we deal with a lot of data. However, if for example, one of my queries that I run in TOAD only takes about 10 minutes. In here is takes about two hours.
Can anything be done to speed this up?
Thnak you

Do those 10 minutes in TOAD include the time it takes to fetch the data? Or is that just the time it takes to execute the query?

In TOAD to run the query and save the data out it would take about 15 minutes at the most. The problem is that someone else has the TOAD application and I cannot ask them to do my work. I have PLSQL/Developer and I am woundering if there is a way to speed it up?
Thanks
