This isn't unusual. Ten seconds may be a bit on the high side but five seconds to create a
connection is reasonable. Network configuration can play a part in the Oracle setup.

BTW, you can implement connection pooling automatically by using the same connection string
(including UserID and Password) for each client. This will improve performance considerably.

You may also want to try using the Microsoft OLEDB Driver for Oracle instead of the SQL driver.
