Apparently, it doesn't seem to be a problem on Linux, since Linux
manages its threads better than Windows(that's what I've been told).
It in the development plan for FB 2.0(development only started, and
not yet in Alpha stage)

FB 1.5 has some configuration parameters to tweak the thread
scheduler(but still not ready for SMP under Windows), so these slow
downs are practically a thing of the past. I have some clients that
are running FB 1.5 and haven't noticed a slow down when running a
complex report, compared to FB 1.0. Although, having FB 1.5 faster
than FB 1.0 does help.
