Nope, have the same problem with a fairly large project of mine: 8 
tables, total of 80 fiels, strings, doubles, ushorts, ulongs, no 
blobs. Takes forever on a brand new Dell PC... Record loading is also 
slower (and no, it's not RB related, because I only read the records 
needed to populate the visible part of the listbox, the others are 
fetched when the user scrolls using the scrollbar).
