Sounds like your'e querying your objects one by one (get member of object
1, get member of object 2,...) from the client side. This is of course
slow (like Falko said, discussed multiple times), because each Ozone
object access from client side is a RMI (each inluding the overhead added
by Ozone for e.g. the transactional environement).
If you query a relational database (I think this is what you mean with a
'regular' database) you don't do it like that. Mostly you have _one_ query
and get a set of entries matching the query. You get your result with only
_one_ database call.
This is somewhat similar to the Lightweight Objects approach discussed in
<http://ozone-db.org/ozone-users/11-2000/msg00141.html>. You really should
read this mail and the discussion that followed.
