title: Is NHibernate faster than a classic ODBC Driver?
body: <p>I am working on an application with a kinda simple data model (4 tables including two small, having around 10 rows, and two bigger, having hundreds of rows).
  I'm working with C# and currently use an OdbcDriver for my Data Access Layer.
  I was wondering if there is any difference in terms of performance between this driver or NHibernate?
  The application works but I'd like to know if installing NHibernate instead of a classic OdbcDriver would make it faster? If so, is the difference really worth installing NHibernate? (according to the fact that I have never used such technology)</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
