This process behaves differently for when "gridmode" is active. From you post i deduce that you are using the grid with gridmode = false. DX grid will access the dataset record by record and the record pointer may move (also check the grids DataControllers syncmode).
I do not remember exactly (sorry, sorry), but I let the grid do all it's setup stuff, opened the dataset (AutoFetchAllRows = true) and *then* assigned the datasets datasource to the grid view. This way I could let IBO load it all and the grid accesses would not create any net activity. If the BLOB is part of the gridview items I have also noted that blob loading takes place. There is also an option to sync the dataset whilst navigating the grid, perhaps that option should be disabled if it is active during loading.
I know this is murky and inexact information, but perhaps it will help.

One grid was linked to a TIBOQuery connected to a Firebird DB via a TIBODatabase component. The other grid is linked to a TSimpleDataset that connects to the same database via the TSQLConnector object. Both queries are the same (select * from constituents order by constituentid). The dbExpress component chain loads its grid in about 2 seconds. The IBObjects component chain is taking upwards of 20-30 seconds. In both cases, the query produces 16,223 records in the result set.
