Trying to get Linux running on mine. Response times seem reasonable on
that. Not sure what W2003 will make of the AMD64.

Isn't there another 'recovery' feature we need to take care of? I'm
still at W2k on windows servers.

Only the best then.
All three giving the same response?
I know IBO takes a while 'settling down' when you first open things up,
and does it's own caching so the delay may not all be due to FB. I'm up
to 250,000 records on some databases, and use a VIEW to provide a
current day view which is there in seconds, both via IBO and PHP. I
suppose the next question has to be - what is the SQL for the view, but
someone else may be able to help better - anyone?
