Strange ideed.
You could try to do a commit after creating the SP and you could try
using a TIB_DSQL instead of the TIBOQuery.
If the result it's the same you can try to only create the SP and then
use isql from Firebrd's bin directory an try and run the SP from there
and see how long it takes.
Anyway ibo components or other components shouldn't influence the
executing speed of a SP. Like you said it's a server-side thing.
