Jdk 1.4 doesn't have the slow socket connection bug (at least with
me). I tried connecting over the Internet with zedebee (btw this
eliminates the slow socket connection bug, because you connect to
localhost which is by default in the hosts file), but at specific
times of the day, connecting to the fbserver (through zebedee tunnel)
takes 10-30 seconds, and a simple query takes sometimes 5+ seconds.
(it "seems" faster than not using zebedee though)

I know this isn't firebird-java related anymore (kick me), but I was
wondering maybe you experienced people could give me a hint why
connecting to a computer's www server takes just a few seconds, while
connecting to the same computer's fbserver takes much more. Both are
TCP sockets aren't they? Btw, connecting to a non fbserver java socket
takes quite a while too.
