Months ago, I posted a similar case and Ann answered that is normal. The cpu
was going to 100% during bulk insertions from a dbf database to interbase.
It was staying in 100% during several minutes and while that was happending,
no other connection is allowed to database. I was using IBO with tib_cursor
and Firebird to this task. After some time, all come back to normal.

Autocommit which will be adding hugely to your overhead. I can't imagine
what you are using IB_Script for !!!

can use a TIB_SessionProps to control the batching of the input statements
so that you can commit in batches of 10,000 records.
