In my experience, they are extremely slow.  I have a client who uses the
DataDirect drivers (and used to use the Merant ones) to batch data out
of a large Progress application at night.  The data are then pushed into
an MS SQL Server database and used for reporting.  The difference in
performance between the two (MS SQL and Progress via ODBC) for the same
data set is an order of magnitude or more in many cases.

For batch transfers, they're fine.  I wouldn't try to use them for live
data.
