That is curious in deed. I know that I had it all working because after I showed off my BASIC/Rdb demo we were in talks with people from Oracle Sales (they wanted $30k which our middle-tier managers flatly refused; so we were using Attunity for a time). I'll look for the old source code and see how it was built. (I totally forgot about that module stuff)

With regards to the Python environment, the reason it "seems" as fast as compiled BASIC is this: both programs spend a lot of time waiting for the network or waiting for database i/o which is done via the network.
