code optimization for large result sets

I have queries which take 30+ seconds to complete when called by the client. The queries return a large result set, number of rows. The queries actually only takes less than two seconds. It is populating the CORBA structs that is taking all the time. Any ideas on how to improve? An exampleis below. thanks.

PreparedStatement ps = con.prepareStatement(USER_READY_TASK_LIST_SEL);

ResultSet rs = ps.executeQuery();

String taskID ="";

String taskName="";

inttaskStatus=0;

String task_statusValue="";

String jobID ="";

String jobName ="";

int attribIntValue=0;

int recordCount=0;

while(rs.next())

{

taskID= rs.getString(1);

taskName = rs.getString(2);

taskStatus= rs.getInt(3);

task_statusValue = rs.getString(4);

jobID= rs.getString(5);

System.out.println(jobID.getBytes().length);

jobName = rs.getString(6);

attribIntValue= rs.getInt(7);

}

}
