I have TikiWiki and TikiPro working on Firebird, as well as my own CMS
system, and all respond reasonably fast. In fact we have a problem on
one site where things may be TOO quick, but on the same site, some
machines take a long time to respond. THAT is a network problem that
their IT department have now accepted, since all the machines on the
local router respond in seconds.

I'm not seeing any speed problems with Apache2/PHP5/ADOdb/Firebird1.5
and if I was I know I have a few tricks to solve them - such as
splitting Apache/PHP and Firebird machines.

I need to keep ADOdb, because I am now having to connect to other
engines on sites, so my hands are a little tied, but it's not a noose :)
