Well, yes, just showing what I'm up against. But I don't know much about how FB
works.

Well, I broke the 2-threaded part into a 2 consecutive threads and found no
improvement. So that theory's out.

We used Firebird workbench and found that if we data-pumped the whole lot out
and back in it ran much faster. What had been taking 9s was taking <2s.

So, explain that! Especially if it helps us to tweak our DB.
