You can always strip out the support for the DB's you're not going to use. This should improve performance some. Also, ADODb is a great abstraction layer, but we've found that we use less than half of its fuctionality. It's great that the functionality is there, so you can pare it down to your needs, but it's really a cure-all when what you need is an abstraction layer that works for YOUR needs! Don't be afraid to try slimming it down, but I'd keep an original copy somewhere in case you find that your paring knife was a little too sharp!!
