You are RIGTH!!!
I killed the apps, 1 by 1, and it was 1 app creating the problem, now I need
to leek into the Apps source to see what can be wrong. However, I had 4 apps
, and I had 5 Firebird Classic Server Sessions, so I guess there is always 1
session running without a client.

Cheers,
Fabian.

PS: If I find the problem, I can go back to Super Server, so installing
CLassic server was a good idea to find out the performance problem.
