fastest method for reading tables

[Quoted] [Quoted] I have an application program that needs to read data [Quoted] by the fastest method possible.

Is OCI the fastest available interface? [Quoted] What parameters need to be tuned to get the application to go faster?
[Quoted] Is there any other interface that might go faster than OCI?

[Quoted] The application makes queries that retrieve *all* rows of a table (but only a subset of the columns).

The application does not care if the data is slightly out of date.

thanks,
