i dont know the EXACT reason why, but i have been told(by my step mom who's been a data architect at a large insurance company's data warehouse for the past 20 years, and many other people) that SELECT * FROM has significant and unnecessary server overhead. And when your working with db's that have terras and terras of data you can and will bring the system down.

The using of SELECT * FROM worn have a noticeable effect if your working on a much smaller scale db but its considered bad practice.

SQL just has these little things that bring performance down, another example would be using the prefix "sp_" in front of a stored procedure's name... the reason for that is that sp stands for system procedure and NOT stored procedure, so SQL goes and looks through the system procedures first before moving on to stored procedures.
