Patrick,
  Based on your statement that the count(unique) takes a lot longer than the plain number, I would suspect that (a) your where clause qualifies lots of rows and (b) sorting the rows by logdate is taking up most of the time. In init.ora, increase your sort_area_size to 1m or more. Also try increasing the size of the temporary tablespace of the user executing the statement. Also, if you have the memory available, increase your db_block_buffers to 10M. Try each of these independently and together and see which combination helps the most.
Hope this helps
