Maybe hyperthreading ? Could this harm performance just by installing
? I suspect that it is Pentium IV inside.
On the other way if I switch it off in BIOS ,that could down performance
for other applications, right ?
Does default installation has CPUAffinity correctly set or I must change
it manually ?
Please help.IT staff or my customes said that Firebird is causing such
problems even if it's running on background without any clients
connected.I rather desperate want to exclude such possibility ! :-(
Could it be related to "CPU goes to 100%" bug in Firebird 1.5.2 ?
