Unlike tables ref cursors do not store data. They act like mold to hold data during the execution of the piece of code so proper coding and use of bind variables can help decrease the burden of processing.

If the data is large then processing will surely consume more resources. You could try to partition the table from which the cursor is deriving its data and see if it helps.
