ODBC is rather slow - some years ago i did compare for an
Delphi-Application accessing MDB files by ODBY and by DAO, using DAO
was significantly faster.

ADO/OLEDB seems to have poor performance too. But there are
significant differences in the OLEDB drivers available.

The best performance in combination VB/FB is to write an DLL driver to
interface the FB-API efficiently. This is much more performant than
using OLEDB.
