Do the identical query in any other sqlite browser (eg sqlitespy) and see how long it takes.

There ya go then. Nothing much we can do about it if it takes 4 minutes to execute, huh?
I'm sure you can optimize your query significantly.
Cheers,

But XBMC shouldn't freeze, while it does this?

That's the way it works. For very good reasons, all HTTPAPI calls are processed in the main thread, as they often affect things that need to maintain state for rendering and other access.
A patch to rip out the HTTPAPI and replace it with something a little more sane would be welcome.
Cheers,
Jonathan
