During this time I noticed that IBO seemed to be slow as it was retrieving information about the database (according to Codewatch the time differences coudld be attributable to the functions/procedures SchemaIndexDefinitions, SchemaDefaultedCols and SchemaProcedureInfo, SchemaPrimaryKeyInfo from IB_Schema.pas, and SysGetBlobData from IB_Session).
