I don't remember everything, but to my recollection, the biggest one was
the SetKey/GotoKey on a TIBOTable. Doing a SetKey(), setting the
FieldByName on the key, the calling GotoKey() used to be very fast with the
BDE. When I switched to IBO, it got very slow. I heard reports from my
customers that it went from being almost instantaneous to taking over 30
seconds. Because of this, I abandoned that method, and switched to just
doing a new query on the desired key and returning that record.
