Meaning: between 4.5 and 5.5 times.

Put open/close actions in a loop executing a couple of thousand times.

I certainly agree with you that fetching records in 1 ms or 21 ms
isn't noticeable, and it is certainly irrelevant in a multi-tier app
over a WAN. And if Glenn must wait for 21 seconds before records are
all fetched then the first thing to look at is the design of
dataretrieval.

Nevertheless everybody wants his favorite components to be fast.
