TIBOQuery is derived from the TDataset class, but internally, it uses
a TIB_Query (check the InternalDataset property of TIBOQuery).

The default value for some of the TIBOQuery properties are not the
same as the default values of TIB_Query properties. Maybe the
difference of performance you are feeling is due to different
configuration in some of the common properties of both components. Try
to compare them and test with different configs.

g> Is there any way to configure the TIBOQuery to run as fast as the TIB_Query?

Probably. Do what I said above.

g> Is there any way to connect standard data-aware components to a TBI_Query?

No.

Always test such big changes with a local database (with real data)
before distributing your application.

BTW, afair, there is an extra ReportBuilder pipeline component that is
able to connect direct to TIB_Query. Check old messages of this list
to get more information about it.
