Heiko, more significant is what this users will to do. If you need
more fast response in low loaded system or more fast execution of
many simultaneous similar short queries - you need SS, if you need
high load ability - at least part of users will run long heavy queries
(reports for exampe) - you need CS to allow to work other users. Note
- CS requires more RAM, each connection is separated process which
need memory for cashe and for own needs.

CS only.

Personally I use CS only, but people who tried FB 1.5 SS says it
have better load ability than FB 1, but not as good as CS.
