He did mention that he tried it on a system with 1GB RAM. I would be
interested what other applications are running alongside Firebird
(i.e.: anti-virus software, firewall, etc...). If there's an
anti-virus application running that might be checking the database
file when it Firebird accesses it the first time, and subsequently the
disk writes. My clients reported better performance when the
anti-virus wasn't checking the database file, on access.
