The main thing we saw, but with Oracle 7.3.4 instead on Solaris, was
DCOracle queries used to take 15 minutes compared to 5 minutes with
Anthony Baxter's  oracledbmodule...
Something changed (we never determined what) and suddenly DCOracle queries
(using DCOracle outside of zope) took a DAY compared 5 minutes with the
oracledbmodule.
The weirdest thing of all, though, was we only had to IMPORT DCOracle in a
script to get a decrease in performance even if there was not a single
reference to it apart from the import statement.
