UPDATE: Well I discovered what my problem was. I commented out the method I employed which used sqlYoga for all the queries, and wrote a new method using only RevDB API calls. The sqlYoga method took about 1 to 1.5 seconds per iteration, so for 100 single record queries, let's say roughly 2 minutes. The RevDB method took less than 10 seconds for 100 queries.
I guess what I am saying is that if you need to do lots of small queries like I am doing, and you don't mind learning a little SQL, the RevDB commands and functions are going to be a TON more efficient. But if you are doing a few queries here and there, the performance hit would be minimal, and sqlYoga can save you enormous amounts of trouble learning SQL and get you going much quicker.
