I use FB 1.5 and also use connection pooling for an internal IW application,
Chad. I've noticed a bit of a boost in performance when I switched to
connection pooling (using Jason Southwell's component). I've not measured,
but have noticed an improvement in response times when the load is heavy
since the IW app is hosted on a Celeron 700 w/ 512 MB RAM :)
