We have pretty complex application written in VB which calls BusinessObjects and then passes variables to BO via OLE. For the most part, it works just fine. What we are seeing is that the performance of the app suffers greatly during the specific time in which VB is loading the Data Provider in BO and passing thru the conditions.
Does anyone have any advice to offer on tuning this process, or alternative methods of passing this info to BO from VB? I have checked the list archives to no avail.

I seem to remember something about loading and unloading the Data Provider from memory. I don’t have it in front of me, but I think it is something to investigate.
Jay,
We are already loading and unloading the DP…that is precisely the part that is taking a long time…up to a full 2 minutes just to load the DP (and that is without downloading a new universe i.e. most current is already local).
Maybe it is a desktop issue, but we have pretty standard configs…Pentium 166 running win 95 w/ 32 MB RAM.
