Firebird 1.5 has a Classic Server version for Windows which should
work on a hyperthreading CPU.

But, this message was posted on Firebird-Devel, recently:

with Firebird 1.5 rc6 and IB7 and IB6 and have found that IB runs vary fast
in all situations - inserts,updates,deletes,starting and commiting
transactions even when compared to IB6 on a hyperthreading machine firebird
still looses out, BUT with Release candidate 7 the picture changed
dramatically. Now Firebird is running extremely well and outperforms
Interbase6 and 7 by miles.>>

So, I guess the best way to be certain at 100%, would be to try it out
yourself.
