In recent version of IBO, this is not longer true. If a query with GetServerDefaults is opened, IBO retrieves default values for all the database, so whatever query you open later defaults are already found in client memory.
I always use GetServerDefaults in my queries, and I find very C/S, since the defaults are defined on the server side, not the client one, and when I have to change them, all my apps are immediatly up to date.
