heya,

got a problem that i can not seem to find the answer to.

firebird 1.5 (4306) is running nicely on my XPbox(local) and on my
linuxBox (network). i have written an application in C# that uses the
.net container for firebird.
one of the tables has a blob as an attribute.

##### linux via network #####
if i insert a large file (40MB mp3) then it takes about 12 sec
for the database to process the data, which is great.

the problem arises, when i want to extract the blob using a standard
"select attachmentData from attachment where ....".
on the linux machine it takes 25 min. yes, MINUTES!!!

##### XP locally #####
insertion takes about 40sec.
the retrieval only takes about 6 sec, the way it should be ;)

anyone got any ideas ?
even though the XPbox is 700MHz faster and hast 256MB more RAM
than the linuBox, it is still about 3 times as slow. the insertion
part shows it as well.

have tried different settings in the config files on linux, but nothing.
running the server version on both machines.
the database was just set up, so hardly any data in it (1.4MB).

any help would be appreciated.

cheers

Martin
