Hello,
following problem:
(W2k server 256MB RAM, TokenRing Lan,
FB1.0, Client access over BDE (TCP/IP),
using stored procedures, gdb is ~100MB)
when calling a complex stored procedure for retrieving data,
always the first 20-30sec nothing seem to happen on the
server (looking on taskmanagers process load).
After this time process load of IB-server goes up as expected
to 80-90% and returns then result set to client.

After switching to Winnt 4 server we see 'normal' expected
behaviour => directly after SP is called processor load goes
up to 80-90%

We tried to connect the client over a mini hub to W2k server
also over crosscable, but this delay is still there.

Anybody had similar experience and can help with an answer?

TIA

Thomas
