Almost all of the methods call a Stored procedure and do not build up 
queries. SPs are way faster than building queries because they are 
already compiled and optimised to bytecode and need no parsing like sql.

The only benefit would be to allow querying of stuff not supported by 
the dbus interfaces. (still handy to have mind you)
