I should say, that QD (and IBExpert too) do some
additional work while executing queries.

For example:

1) They get plan of query.
2) They collect performance info before executing
3) They collect performance info after executing
4) ... and some other work...

Of course, this takes some time, so exceuting
queries in QD and IBE is more slower than
just executing the same queries in your Delphi app.
