Are you using bound data controls?  If so that, would explain a lot.
Try executing the queries through unbound recordsets.  Also check to
make sure you don't make more calls to the database than is necessary.
Try to limit the rights in the call to what is necessary (For instance,
if you only need to read data, a static read-only recordset can save a
lot of overhead as compared to a dynamic read-write with pessimistic row
locking).
