A couple things that might help:

1) Call TIBQuery.DisableControls even if nothing is pointing at it.
(Haven't done this with IBO's but I have seen speed improvemnts with
all that I have).
2) And if you have TDataSource.Dataset pointing to the TIBOQuery, set
it's DataSet property to nil--this still increases speed.
