Slow Performance With A Simple Query In A Small Table?

In my database/MY SERVER (SQL7/Win2K), I run a simple query with a Table/10000 rows (without cluster index):
SELECT * FROM TABLE
it take over 30s. Why it's slow? How can I check for reason? How to configure my server to improve performance?
Thanks in advance.
