Thanks Sean, this solved the blocking effect !
Do you know why is the FreeBSD port so slow (compared for example with the old Interbase 4.0 on the same platform) ?.
Of course it have many improvements but, could this affect so seriously the speed? Or is a build problem? (I am using pre-compiled versions for FreeBSD 4.3, FB 0.9 and actually FB 1.0 RC).
It is a platform problem (semaphores,etc.)?

Thank you again.
