But what James did is still interesting as a speed test, and he found
IBX 2.5 - 4 times as fast as IBO (in these particular tests). Maybe
this is unavoidable, as IBO is a lot richer and therefore more
complicated than IBX.

James, what happens if you don't attach any DataSource to the queries,
and run the tests again?
