a well-behaved (that is, no TTables, no live TQueries, no Locates) BDE
application does not generate *much* more traffic than a IBO/IBX one.
The bad side of the BDE is the terrible lack of functionality if you
follow those guidelines, whereas other tools like IBO give you
efficiency AND functionality.
