You need to do some research on the multi processor thing and some more on
hypertreading - search this group for those words or have a look at some
recent post by Helen Borrie on the subject. Sometimes hyperthreading is
better being disabled and you may need to set the affinity property. FB will
not by nature take advantage of 2 processors.

You also need to read the install notes and release notes to see to it that
you have installed the client library correctly.
