For Material Workbench form, the technological framework are different between R12 and 11i,In 11510 Forms grid is used where as from R12 it is upgraded to JTF grid.
(You may note Material Workbench form name is also different between 11i and R12, onhand form name in 11i is INVMATWB.fmb, in R12, form name is INVMWBIV.fmb).
For Material Workbench form, Why we use different technological framework since R12
In 11i, Material Workbench form use Forms grid to display onhand information, but due to Form technology limitation, we can't provide more complex functions, like sorting,copying...
Anyway we need a component like MS EXCEL, So since R12, we start to use JTF component, this is a JAVA component. Base on JTF component, we can provide more complex functions.

What happen in backend after pressing FIND button, and Why performance issue happen
a.) Base on user query criteria, System will query information from onhand table MTL_ONHAND_QUANTITIES_DETAIL, Then insert to a TEMP table MTL_MWB_GTMP.
b.) Content in temp table MTL_MWB_GTMP almost have all onhand information, but we still need some additional necessary information which need retrieve from other tables,
(eg. item description, we need get item description information from item definition table MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_B table...)
After get these additional information, then system will update them into temp table MTL_MWB_GTMP, Your performance issue happen at this time.
