Look in the release notes under New Configuration File ->
Windows-specific parameters (approx. page 38). You'll find there some
parameters that will able you to tweak Firebird's internal thread
scheduling. Experiment with them until you have the optimum
performance for your configuration.

Also, have you tried using the Classic server version? With the
Classic Server each connection is a separate process(instead of a
separate thread as in Superserver), and I think(meaning: don't take my
word for it) it works fine with HT enabled.

One thing you forgot to mention is which version(beta no., RC no.) of FB 1.5 that you
are using.
