We've been seeing progressively longer connection times (currently
about 10 seconds to connect to the remote database over a 100MB/s
TCP/IP connection) and think it may be a cacheing problem as the
database gets larger.

When I check the statistics for our database, the "Page buffers" are
reported as zero. It's actally a very small database at present -
only about 2MB. I set the #DATABASE_CACHE_PAGES parameter to 5000 in
the ibconfig file (Windows NT with 256MB RAM) but can't seem to get a
reading for Page buffers. Am I missing something?

TIA
