Bulk Logging - Took longer.

Hello,
We have a job that runs for a duration - n minutes.
There are quite a few stored procedures in it that use the 'select into'
statement.
Tried switching over to 'Bulk logging' to reduce the duration of the run.
Observed that the run actually took n+30 minutes.
Our expectation was that it would be either n or n minus something.
Did not expect the duration to increase.
What could the reason be behind this?
Cheers

Have you looked at an execution plan of the SELECT * INTO .. statements
Do you have any WHERE conditions in the source table? How big is the
table/s? Have you seen optimizer was available to use index to produce the
query?

I have'nt looked at the execution plans as yet.
But can confirm that the source table has a where clause and the columns in
it are part of existing indexes.
