If you mean DB_ado (from http://pear.php.net/package/DB_ado) I can't say anything about it because I haven't used it. But if you mean ADOdb Database Abstraction Library for PHP (from http://adodb.sourceforge.net/): It should be somewhat faster if you use the extension, because of the abstraction layer there is some overhead by using the class even when the class itself also uses the extension. So if you need all the speed you can get use the extension calls, but if you want a system where you can easily adopt from one database to another, handy helping functions for database specific date conversion and a nice sql query caching system, you should use the abstraction layer.
