Опишу свои мысли:
Несколько таблиц, вероятно больших, джойнятся между собой, а потом результат сильно усекается условиями, т.е. получается, например, 2.000X2.000=4.000.000 строк и потом условия по этому множеству дают всего 200 строчек, то есть 99% данных, выбранных из базы, на которые было истрачено время, просто выкидываются. Вместо этого проще перебрать условиями каждую из таблиц и потом джойнить маленькие остатки. Будет в разы быстрее. Например, вот этот кусок:
[sql]

      and pd.client=p.owner 
    and (   (pd.bond_type=b.type and pd.bond_type in ('Sov','Corp','StatBody'))
