Profile your code sometime; I assure you, with a properly indexed query, the actual query time is insignificant compared to everything else, unless your app is Rust, C, Nim, etc.
The overwhelming majority of OLTP queries I see running on massive prod systems execute in < 1 msec. More time is spent in network RTT than execution, let alone the ORM parsing the result.
