Firebird 2.0 Alpha displays the same characteristics as FB 1.5.2.
Give it a big ass (no I'm not from TX) query on a large database and
you can see FB has pegged the CPU at 100%. Unlike SQL Server there is
no way to limit the amount of CPU FB consumes, so all other
applications on the same CPU/machine starve.
We have a multithreaded application that serves both the internet and
local workstations. Firebird's current lack of SMP and Hyperthreading
support as well as CPU throttling problems are forcing management to
contemplate a major port to SQL Server 2000/2005.
When will Firebird be available with SMP or HT support?
