What system are you running this on? I use multiple "Select *" queries and it doesn't take anywhere near 3.4 seconds, tested on thousands of computers that my software is deployed on. I do a Select * because I am getting multiple properties from the object. However, I do it a bit different: create an ObjectQuery on the Select *; get the ManagementObjectCollection; then foreach ManagementObject in the ManagementObjectCollection.

@deegee: you are right, the query itself does not take much longer with "Select *", it's just that the int parsing below is slow if iterating all the values returned instead of just NumberOfCores.
