In my limited experience with BBO, I have found that it is very easy
to find opponents quickly, much more quickly than on OKbridge.  When
playing on OKbridge and losing opponents 30 minutes before I was ready
to quit, I would often end the session because I expected to have ot
wait 5 or 10 minutes to find new opponents.  On BBO, I don't usually
have time to say "good night" before someone sits in the empty seat.

Limited sample, so I may be wrong about the general environment.

Finding partners is something that I cannot speak to.  I have not
played online with a pickup partner in years.
