First step is to change the extension from .gdb to .fdb. But,
Firebird's security database is still .gdb and that can cause some of
the problems. And, I think someone found something else that can
cause the delay, but I don't think it was something you could
deactivate in Windows.

Anyway, Firebird 1.5 seems to run rather smoothly on Win2003(you still
need to change the extension). There are remaining issues with
multi-CPU and hyperthreading with the Superserver version, which
should be taken care of in FB 2.
