Fetch cpu intensive

I have an explicit cursor declared which fetches about 200,000 records.
It writes these records to a logfile and does no row processing or calculations.
Monitoring the system it shows the program is very cpu intensive.

Are there any Oracle ini parameters I can increase to help this program along?

is it normal for code to be cpu intensive when fetchng?
