It appears a decision matrix needs to be created to determine where to use
Classic Server, or SuperServer.

If we throw around the points, maybe it could be created on the website, so
people don't think that SS is the latest and greatest all the time?

Factor Classic Server
Super Server
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----
Guaranteed simple, short transactions, OLTP
(No complex analysis, limited reporting) Good
Excellent

Moderate transaction complexity, OLAP
(Complex analysis, More reporting) Excellent
Good(Can block other operations on complex queries)

Single processor machine Excellent
Excellent

Multi-processor(SMP and HT) Excellent

Perhaps something like this is more suited for firebird-general.sorry!
