There aren't an reliable benchmarks of Firebird 1.5. If there were
benchmarks, they probably wouldn't help. Here's a recent quote from the
devel list:

"My favorite benchmark story was the DG [Data General, a dead
mini-computer company] COBOL compiler. The dominant COBOL benchmark was
called "US Steel". The DG COBOL compiler was reputed to recognize the
benchmark during compilation and spat out the results without the need
to link and run the program."

What results were you looking for? What are the performance
requirements of your application?
