It's probably a bit slower than direct MySQL calls due to the extra code yet it makes up big time in simplicity and result set caching. Any result set that doesn't get modified often I store in cache (propriatary flat-file system of ADODB) and thus save the time it takes to run that particular query agaist the MySQL engine. It does wonders on heavy queries.
Further, ADODB has had multipe query per call structure for years which only recently got implemented in MySQL directly.
