One more reason why IBO is that fast is that a lot of things are not
exchanged with the server all the time ... (but the main reason is still
the native access to the database without all the hankypanky that the
BDE does (or has to do)).

Thus IBO is much more powerful.
But this also implies that is much more difficult to learn.

I doubt you'll get into it without
a) reading the getting started guide and having a look at the samples
or
b) having plenty of time to try on your own and asking in this list

:)
