What do you mean by "better performance"? Is your routine slow?

IB_Cursor fetches each row one-by-one. If "performance" means speed,
you are measuring the time elapsed between when you call First and
when the first record appears.

Presumably, you are using IB_Cursor because you want to do some
non-visual processing on a set (since IB_Cursor does not store
records in a buffer). If what you are doing is slow and is not
touched by human hands, you should consider performing the operation
as a searched one, via a DML statement in an IB_DSQL, which would be
faster than anything you might achieve by pulling the set over to the client.
