I have been looking at / considering what improvements - if any
we should make to the remote protocol.. From an IBReplicator perspective
I know that the conversations between client/server and back are
pretty chatty, by that I mean there is a lot of too and from conversation.
Over a WAN this slows down replication to what some users would consider
an unreasonable degree...

As such I am looking for any specific information/measurements that
any of you may have done that define the "problems" before I start
having to do this myself. i.e how talkative is Firebird for example
in comparison to other databases?

How many messages get sent to perform simple operations e.g. a singleton
select, update, insert etc, does anybody have any statistics?

Has anybody run into other issues with the remote protocol that bear looking
at?
