Guys-
Merant used to make an Informix ODBC driver that was a lot
faster than the one that comes with CSDK. I think they've been bought,
but the product should still be out there somewhere.

the issue here is that the .net provider for Informix is not native but
a wrapper which uses ODBC

in order to fix this problem IBM would need to develop a native .net
provider
