Well, if there is more then one point where the call can spend seconds computing, it is not a problem. So, you probably have more then one point (as in SMP or NUMA machine) where you can spend CPU time. Seconds spent are calculated per CPU, and if you have more then one of those, you are going to spend many seconds computing. It will also make your oracle license much, much more expensive.
