i don't think that this is the problem coz i tried to do the same but
using odbc connection and not firebird to the same server and from
the same machine and i am sure that all the parameters and the
conditions where the same and the odbc connection was instant.

even when i test the connection from the system from the fbconnection
interface for the first time it takes 8 to 9 seconds but through odbc
from the same place and the same enviroment (even same solution) it
takes less than 1 sec
